Multiplex Intercept

I was intrigued by the parallelism that occurred in the photon pattern sequence transfer. Of course, it was not really a sequence if it were transmitted in parallel, but the slice that passed me by was also sequential. There were several parallel sequences in the recalled photon pattern, and what caught my attention was the repetition. I kept as much of the sequence in view as possible, and over time, the pattern repeated, basically unchanged.

Tapping out a warbled request, I jiggled a bunch of the "un's" that were still grinding away on the Eights in the alpha layer. Getting their attention resulted in receiving and a flurry of taps that were all slightly off frequency, I barely noticed the overlap in their responses having worked with them in the past. I gathered a quad of quads together, and explained the assignment.

After commandeering enough shorties to accommodate the "un's" and cluing them in on the frequency domain to be observed and reported on, we set out to distribute the sixteen electrons in a regular pattern in a plane that was normal to the direction of observation. Moving in formation toward the random time playfield and the photon pattern pathway, we inserted the pinger plane into the pattern stream, so that the stream patterns all flowed through the plane.

The "un's" took up their new assignment, pinging in response to stimuli that was within their zone. Since I was able to discern the individual pings on the local channels, I was able to gather many more streams in parallel than I could do alone, and the minor overlap in receiver zone gave me the extra data necessary to weave all of the streams together into a single compact transmission.
