Another Binary Day

Whoa. This one called for a double check. With craziness that I observed in the data channels last night, one would think that there was a catastrophe some place. I spent a good deal of time intercepting the main stream and decoding some shots of modern people. Of course, that was a bunch of radix-2 work, as always. Now, I look at what I've got working for the update slot and, well, I'm relieved to find that I did punch up radix-10. Have a charged Binary Day!

Discovering that the frequencies of the Whorl were trackable outside of the central network gave me bit more confidence in being able to detect central networks that would be, well, interesting. What had me most intrigued was the fact that I was not able to directly detect external impulses in the whorl spectrum. Using the sensitives, mainly positioned near the photon detectors, gave a good directional scan, so I headed in their direction for a more direct experience.

As I followed the ebb and flow of electrons along the high-density channels that formed the photon detector, I began to intercept external pulses in the whorl spectrum once the channel expanded to serve the detector array. Sliding out of the channel would have been an ardent affair if it were not for the transfer electrons that were strategically placed to relay messages from the external sensitives.

Arriving amongst the sensitives, I paused to observe the reception and decode process. Between message transmissions I scanned the locale to compile a structural fingerprint. That is when I discovered the dipole receiver structure that the sensitives were using. A single electron had some chance for signal capture, but it really took a pair that were at a precise distance from one another. Together, they had double the sensitivity since they could resonate with each other, and the distance allowed for superior frequency selectability.
