Consideration Crucible

I kept following the bubble, scanning the zones that it activated as it bounced through the central network on it's journey. Scanning into the bubble revealed that each pattern that it interacted with was taken up and began circulating within the bubble. In a more complex way than my UnGrid, this bubble churned and parsed, linked and unlinked all of the patterns that it had come in contact with. Interconnections began to form, and the structure of the entire set of patterns began to take shape.

Slowly rolling over, the internal structure was astonishingly simple for being built from such complex patterns. There was a universal symmetry, yet there were areas that were void of interconnections. The surface that was emulated by the bounding interconnection links was quite unique when compared to other voids. Tendrils of interconnection wove through the core of the structure, and pulsed together as the entire information structure glowed with the increased pulse frequency.

And then it all stopped. The entire bubble went dark, each link shouting down, but remaining connected. There was a pause where the entire structure began to coalesce, with all of the nodes getting closer together and then . . . blip!

A single pulse in the middle of the structure leaped across a shortened pathway and triggered a cascade of pulses, each jumping across shortened links, putting even more power into the next node as the cascade expanded outward. More blips were spotted deep in the core of the compacted structure, and in a short time, it was beaming a pulse train that might have been continuous output if I didn't know better.
