Updates to some of the terms disclosed in the previous post.

Yes, I'm still here! I wonder what else happened around this time that might have made me not put up a post since May 2020. I don't think there was anything.

So, the topic of this post is to list and perhaps details rationale for some of the changes in terminology since my last post. So, here the are:

  1. Client Device -> Peer Device

    This one is a rather big change. Client Device was a term used in my patent, and had survived unchanged among a turbulent wash of changes for a very long time. I think, however, the change is apt because these devices behave more like peers than like Clients.

    While it might be said that Glions can be thought of as clients to Neurons, Neurons certainly function as Peers among themselves. The word Device is often dropped in less formal discussion.

  2. Marshaller -> Fielder

    The noun and verb "Marshal" was commandeered as the label around a new (or merely, a more crystalised) mechanism for managing sense data that cannot be reconstituted on the receiving Peer. Hence, after a bit of searching, the equivalently grammatical "field" was deemed an appropriate replacement; these acquirers take the job of collecting and managing deliberations from the motors (the coupling and receiver) so they can do their time constrained tasks can be completed without this burdon.

It is hoped that the changes to terminology disclosed here will provide a good background to future posts - the next one of which I will try to get out very soon.
