The Interface

Running the build process on the electron network was consuming a large portion of my available bandwidth. As we continued building out the fifth doubling, we decide to double and triple the number of pinger electrons that monitored specific locations in the central network. This ensured that there was a pinger that could make immediate contact with a member of the next layer, bursting a ping upon activity of the monitored node.

It was relatively easy for the receiver layer to filter duplicate events. Transmissions emanating from a single atom are rather tightly confined when you scan for their source. When a pinger detects that the node has recognized a particular pattern of inputs and shifts state, it has to issue a ping, either an up-spun ping for recognition and a down-spun ping for a return to idle.

The receiver layer was locked together with local slide-links, allowing them to share information and handle the pingers that zones in the layer were assigned to monitor. Post processed information was then condensed and encoded by the communications masters in the layer, and forwarded to the next layer. By carefully guiding the deployment of the pingers, most anything stored, accessed or processed by the central network, could be tracked, detected and inspected.
