Then there was the fact that not every entanglement state was useful or active all the time. Some entanglement groups were duds that did nothing on their own most of the time and were mostly there for redundancy. He called them Dead Entanglements.
The special thing about Dead Entanglements was that their identity wasn't fixed. Groups that were alive a few moments ago could go silent, while dead groups could come to life and begin working.
The way they worked was similar to how a swarm of birds flies, or a school of fish swims together as a group without colliding with each other. As they switched on and off, firing off information to produce interaction and going dark, they formed a beautiful wave of twinkling colors.
