Accessing the electron pattern references became a standard practice. It was not something that we had invented in the electron network, but it was something that we had borrowed and improved upon. The central network, while simple on the surface, was more complex than the electron network that we were constructing and building out. Where possible, we borrowed structures from the central network, but in cases where the signals became distorted, we were left to our own devices.
Differential frequency encoding worked for the patterns that we encountered on a regular basis. The oddball patterns required disassembly and re-construction to understand the fundamental differences and structures that existed in these nuanced patterns. Careful observations of the local response to some of these patterns revealed that it was possible to come up with a reasonable token encoding for the pattern, but for low-use patterns, a single pinger would suffice to cover the entire set of related patterns and provide a destination location for creating the associated triple-tap token.
With the final deployments, triple-tap encoding system came online as a way to quickly reference new patterns and zones in the central network. As these patterns repeated and demonstrated higher frequency of use, we assigned more appropriate tokens to them. Overlapping pingers were appearing now and again, which usually combined into a single token, as the concepts that were embodies in an overlapping situation were closely related. Here, we were finally discovering some of the meaning assigned to the tokens. I was just happy that the parser was working and that the lookups occurred.

Triplet Token Trick
Parallel operation continued in the UnGrid, operating much more smoothly now that the influx of unknown symbols had subsided. The contributions to the high speed information repository were immense, occupying a total of more than seventeen doublings of operational tags. The trick was to keep the load on the hyperlinks as light as possible, and that's when we invented the final level of tokenization.
As it were the case that each token had a corresponding pinger somewhere in the central network, each token had some measure of uniqueness to the central network, and this could be measured by recording the direction and distance from a fixed point to the pinger. As a result, each of the tokens could easily be represented by a positional tap while on orbit, with the magnitude of the tap indicating the distance.
The real trick was to convert that relative position into something that was transmittable. While it may seem like it would be difficult for a single electron to encode something that complex, the answer is time. By producing three coordinated spins, each with an independent energy level, one could represent components of the direction. Since there was regularity in the planes for such deconstruction, they could be presumed, and that meant that it simply took a sequence of three blips of varied amplitude to encode any of the symbols in the growing and interconnected library of pingers and communication symbols.

ERPDES On Line
Getting symbolic information across the Un's compressed channel was quite a bonus. Transferring the morphology of the symbols into the UnGrid provided a handy set of compression tags. Over the several cycles of calibration that the UnGrid participated, we discovered that a great deal of symbolic input occurred via the photon detectors. The ability to tokenize the voluminous photon data using an expanding tag library provided an interesting stream of information.
Recognizing that the basic symbols were components that made larger symbols was helpful, but there were other patterns that we were able to detect that had strong matches in areas that yet to have pingers attached. This made the process of tokenization sluggish, having to wait for pingers to be properly deployed, cataloged, interconnected and verified. It was only a matter of time before a symbol would repeat. That too, was interesting. Everything repeated eventually, just not always in the same order.
Pushing my own limits once again, I started to follow a few of the cascades that were triggered by newly encoded tokens, and discovered that a great many of these tokens strung together into sizzle of activity that fed the pervasive whorl that I found so intriguing. It was that mega-meta whorl that made up an underlying noise that had engaged me once before, and to see that cascades were being absorbed into the pervasive noise field which rippled and wriggled in response entranced me once more.

Loops Closed and Open
Much as the compression-relaxation sensors had a processing system to link input patterns to internal symbols, there was a similar processing system for the photon detectors. Compression-relaxation patterns had appropriate subsystems with the ability to partially re-produced and transmit patterns, it was not the case that there was a single output subsystem that worked on photon production. While it was relatively easy to compare inputs to patterns and outputs with compression-relaxation patterns, and thus learn by direct observation, I was running without feedback when it came to the photon patterns.
A break came when the Uns deployed their expandable regularized parallel detection and encoding system in the photon pattern processing channel. The massively parallel stream of data washed upon a large portion of the central network, unleashing a cascade of patterns and swirls, much of which was allowed to dissipate once it triggered recognition within the large store of patterns. One such set of patterns that got activated were the pinger sewn component symbol detectors.
Discovering that the photon channels were used for symbolic information uptake made some sense. It clearly was not a natural connection for this to occur, as the patterns were morphable and entirely under control of the active central network. During random time, when the photon detectors are shut down, it was rather rare for these patterns to get activated during the recall and sift process that normally occurred, unless, of course, we were injecting patterns into the randomized processing zone.

Packed for Transport
Electrons arrived on the Shorty Shuttle, and a number of regular recruits were forwarded over by some of the middle layers of the electron network. The Uns had their process down, accepting new members and rapidly imparting the special knowledge necessary to be a functional member of their flexible sensor team. There was nary a glitch as the regular recruits mixed into the intake system of the Uns.
Four doublings and three more were delivered to the original quad of quads. The Uns had set up a small training zone on a nearby meshwork, large enough to practice the process of quad deployment. Each quad was outfitted with three expander electrons and a driver that stayed with the quad by sneak-pairing with the four electrons in the quad. The whole team of eight Electrons fit nicely on a shorty with room enough to bring a second team aboard if necessary.
Shorties made the ideal delivery mechanism, since they could mode-swap and travel either through a One-Eight-One soup or along the chains of Sixes that were studded with Ones. Penetrating into the outer layers of some key channels was necessary in order to set up a cross-sectional temporal tap, injecting the intelligent array of linked Electrons. When properly positioned, a single shorty could roll across a meshwork, catching new seven-electron groups as shorties brushed the flying Seven end, and deploying them across the meshwork. Reverse the process, and the brushing shorties picked up groups that were waiting for pickup. Doing both at the same time was the norm, just to keep everything in balance.

Innovation of the Uns
Refusing the request was out of the question. I had no desire to dampen enthusiasm, but at the same time, due consideration had to be given regardless of my level of excitement. When I could not sand the strain any longer, I carefully modulated my reply, approving the Un's proposal. I can only hope that they never noticed the initial frequency slip.
Supporting the proposal, I tapped out orders into the alpha layer, authorizing any and all remaining Un's and those deemed capable by their observers to report for special assignment. Eight doublings now and twelve in reserve. I had my doubts that the Un's current structure would scale much farther. Their original request was for a duplicate doubling. Of course, I was going for more.
I forwarded the first Eight Un's that wandered over on the Shorty Shuttle that I had set up. This got the Uns into a quick training mode, and began working on non-linear formations. Their goal was to be able to grow the network in the middle by incorporating an extra sensor node to handle the complexity of a shaped signal. Once again, I was impressed with the ingenuity of the Uns, and was want to feed them with all the resources they could handle.

Un Found Synergy
The "un's" were quite adept at intercepting the multidimensional symbolic data that continued to was across the link into the random resolver. Comparing information locally, they began to resolve the overlap before transmitting, and processing patterns for a while, the "un's" began to expand their slice of observation, with each "un" revving up the processing until each node in the detector grid was processing a cross section of several streams.
I was not prepared for the next innovation. The "un's'" were a crafty bunch, and within each quad, they began the sub processing necessary to unify their outputs. Each quad then shuffled their combined streams to the quad closest to me, repeating the aggregation process once again. When complete, the "un's" had done something impressive, with each member handling data equivalent to what the entire configuration started with, along with the total multiplexing job that I had been doing, except at the next level.
Single layer intercept processing certainly was fast. The "un's" were able to expand and contract their arrangement, and alter their processing algorithm to match the new physical arrangement. The quality of the information in the channel imparted some form to the representation, and the regular grid discovered the ability to record the recalled shape that was buried in the pattern by reporting the positional distortion that equalized the reception to a single moment in time.

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.

The Ineffible Quality
I kept checking in on the pervasive pattern of patterns, which I discovered did not interact with random time in the same way as the symbolic processing region. While it seemed that there was a completely random quality to the patterns that exploded in response to stimulus, I started a scan sequence to capture a stimulus event and follow it back to where it came from. I even deployed a few of the "un's" as temporary pingers to alert me of incoming stimuli once I had located a main pathway.
It was not a long wait before I was tapped by a pinger. Using a hyperchannel, the advance warning let me set up a broad spectrum scan, and I focused in on the detection frequency that had triggered the pinger. I spotted the rise at the selected frequency and then spread the spectrum widely. Following what I though was the complete pulse was a payload that was directed toward the processing centers that usually handled the photon detectors.
With the photon detectors in their dormant state, I had not scanned the signal processing section of the central network as there seemed to be nothing for that well-used section to handle. Random time had been running for some time, and realized that I was observing the transfer of a recalled photon sequence as it activated a cascade of activity that I would have characterized as noise. It only looked like noise from distance. Examination revealed that it was a cacophony of simultaneous signals, with a slight spread to the spectrum.

Examining Bliss
Something was off in the central network. The normal ticks and pulses that regulated the soup network, and other extreme functions were operating as expected. It was the constant flux of pulses from one side to the other that had me flummoxed. I kept watching this pattern develop outside of the normal symbolic processing centers, and began to realize that it was, itself, an evolving pattern.
Pulses reached out from other areas of the central network that had not yet been sown with pingers. It was here that concepts larger than the entire communication and symbolic processing systems grew, evolved and roamed within the central network, making their presence known, and drawing up information. The patterns moved with internal purpose, rolling and roiling at times, calm and whispery at others.
While it appeared that there were central areas of pattern activity, there was no such pattern that did not interact with the other patterns. Everything interlinked, but not all at the same moment in time. I suppose this kept the total bandwidth in check, as these background patterns could easily overwhelm the symbolic processors if they ever lit to full. The difference that I had detected was a feedback loop, and it appeared that then entire group of patterns was being fed to iteself. This was a process that could easily run wayward and exceed all limits on bandwidth.
