Insidious Intercepts and Injections

Injecting patterns into the central network while random patterns circulated, matched and danced, proved to be most educational. With the pairs working to support the activity, the range of patterns that we could stimulate was several doublings more that I could produce on my own. With the exception of the irritating pattern we stuffed into the network, none of the patterns resulted in activating the full network, and the random association mode continued.

We were beginning to recognize that there were special protocols in effect. When patterns that involved the manipulation of the branch points or other such interactions were injected, the links to the control centers were redirected. In rare instances, some impulses did break the barriers, but the diminished magnitude reduced the action to a mere fraction of it's intended power.

Knowing that this mode was limited in duration, I took the pairs aside to run them through some high order patterns that would help them in the future. I pounded out a sequence of single symbols several times, in a consistent order so that the resulting associations would also be in order. With rapt attention, we ended the session on a final refrain of the symbol sequence:
