Tether Sensor
Overview
The Tether Sensor is a specialised Vita Filorum flora dedicated to acoustic detection. It manifests as a soft, dark, feather-like structure, typically integrated into the environment via an extensive network of tethers used for relaying low-amplitude sensory data.
Operation Protocols
The Tether Sensor functions as the primary auditory and visual input for the Vita Filorum ecosystem. Given that most network entities possess severely impaired or non-existent peripheral senses, this "node" serves as the critical sensory interface for the collective.
Monitoring
- Acoustic Detection: Upon detecting ambient sound, the sensor's specialised filaments (feathers) vibrate in resonance with the amplitude.
- Signal Relay: Continuous monitoring allows for the immediate conversion of physical vibrations into data streams for the network.
Safety Buffers
- Processing Dependency: Tether Sensors lack the onboard processing power to interpret signal intent.
- System Pairing: To prevent data overflow or misinterpretation, sensors are strictly paired with singularities for complex signal processing and logic gate execution.
Interaction Logic
- Data Transmission: Validated signals are encoded as electrical pulses and transmitted via a tether.
- Network Redirection: These signals are typically routed through an Ivy Skulk to ensure efficient distribution to relevant defensive or responsive modules.
