'Nodal degradation.'
The details inside the files were still vivid in my mind.
'The process of a node sustaining more and more fractures. By fracturing a node beyond its structural threshold, the point at which regenerative stabilization became computationally impossible, a byproduct known as a Cognitive Shard is produced.'
It was hard to forget the information when it was so interesting.
'By fracturing a node beyond its structural threshold, the point at which regenerative stabilization becomes computationally impossible, a byproduct known as a Cognitive Shard is produced. The resulting destabilization creates a transient breach in the node's containment field, through which excess energy can be introduced and rapidly assimilated. If the energy injection is sustained within the correct parameters, the cascading reaction will coalesce into a self-sustaining anomalous entity.'
