Opening

A repetitive sequence of patterns appeared on the compression-relaxation inputs, and soon, the output transducer was following along in the same rhythm, but at it's own natural resonance. As the sequence continued, I spotted the tendrils of the ineffable whorl unwind and weave their way throughout the zones of the central network.

As the whorl approached the spherical bubble, it was repulsed around the bubble at an even distance until the tendrils of the whorl had enveloped the bubble. Constructed from the same energies and patterns, their repulsion was purely electric. I was fascinated enough by the creation of the bubble, and now the whorl had expanded to permeate the network, and not affect the bubble. It was, effectively, isolated from the rest of the network and the whorl.

Compression-relaxation sensors once again transducted their inputs into pulse trains, this time, the symbols were not repeated, and the whorl had the honor of response. With a shift and a shudder, a single tendril of energy propagated from the boundary near the bubble. Growing steadily, it protruded forward and made contact with the edge of the bubble, at which point, it began to pulse, slowly feeding patterns up the tendril and into the whorl.
