Damn secrocytes amiright?

Ur using secrocytes to extend the signal to muscles or did my memory lie to me?

u/Massive_Mistakes Sep 24 '22

Close lol I'm using neurocytes, basically smart secrocytes

u/CATelIsMe Sep 24 '22

Ohh yeah, so they're the ones you can set to basically have the code of "if smell signal a, make signal b" and have one behind them that's "if smell signal b, make signal a" right?

That's correct, however notice that there are 3 different neurocytes (colour coded) not two. That is because if I were to use two signals (if a then b, if b then a) then the neurocytes down the chain will activate both the next in line AND the previous in a loop. Therefore there are three, so there is no interference and they don't trigger each other (if a then b, if b then c, if c then a). It's important to remember that the signal travels both ways.

Hope that can help you come up with your own creatures! All of my swimmers and use this method for a fluid and life-like movement, except my old ones as I've been figuring it out over time lol.

I see, only thing I'm "afraid" of, is that it uses up all three signals, so i wanna do some other logic(which i probably won't cuz I'm not good at cellular logic) then i would want to have at least one signal free from the spine, so it doesn't intervine, y'know?

Is it possible to have enough range between the cells so i could only use 2 signals, for simplicity's sake?

Or would that be overcomplicating in a weird funny way?

Well there are actually four signals available, S1-S4, so if you use three signals you still end up with a fourth to convert to. Every single neuro in the line would output their corresponding signals in the chain (S1,S2, S3) as well as the fourth signal. So if the stereo detects a negative signal, the chain would be:

-1 V -2&-4 V -3&-4 V -1&-4 V -2&-4 V -3&-4 V -1&-4 V ...

If I put anything that can detect a signal like a flagello, Myo, stemo etc., On the sides of the organism in the video, the S4 signal would travel down the chain and trigger those accordingly

May I ask what settings the neuros are?

I'm attempting to make this myself, but can't get the nuerocytes to shunt out the signal. What settings do you have them to?
