When a node is having issues with another node’s behavior interfering with its role in the body it will send inhibitory signals to the node that is interfering with it. It can recruit other nodes in this inhibitory process. However, | When a node is having issues with another node’s behavior interfering with its role in the body it will send inhibitory signals to the node that is interfering with it. It can recruit other nodes in this inhibitory process. However, occasionally it will see it necessary to set up an inhibitory node to send the inhibitory signal for it. This provides a more reliable inhibitory signal, as the node is dedicated. It also frees up the node’s attention for other tasks. When that newly made inhibitory node is no longer needed, however, it is informed of that and told to disassemble itself. It then stops sending the inhibitory signal and disassembles into its constituent parts. This break up is important to prevent it from reestablishing the inhibitory signalling on its own unnecessarily. | ||
When it comes to nodes on the top level of the network, however, this is a problem. Top-level nodes do not normally have the attention power necessary to get a top-level inhibitory node to stop and disassemble itself. This is to prevent them from being stopped or disassembled by the node that they are inhibiting. This results in a littering of the top level of a network with defunct but still operational inhibitory nodes. These greatly reduce efficiency and can cause significant issues to compound over time as more inhibitor nodes litter the network landscape. The thinning of power makes this even worse to deal with, as even with amplification, they cannot be easily dismissed in large groups. This is the same problem as is discussed in 14.4 Water Intake Inhibitors and can be solved in the same way. | When it comes to nodes on the top level of the network, however, this is a problem.
