Step 5: Calculate the Connectivity Index
The fifth step is to calculate the “connectivity index” (CI or \(\psi\)) of the PCC. CI refers to information processing power or internal connectivity, which is the sum of resonance chains
internal to the CCL that connect the various
CCs that comprise the larger and unified resonating
structure.
Connectivity in this context refers to the presence and quantity of
internal energy/information pathways. Connectivity implies the
transmission of something internal to the PCC and this “something” is
at its root simply causal influence, something that results in a
difference to the system. CI quantifies the internal connectivity of the
PCC. CI scores also fall on a normalized scale between zero and ten.
A network (which can consist of literally any substance) would receive a
CI score of 10 if all possible data from each node of the network could
instantaneously transmit all possible data to all other nodes on the
network. In other words, such a network would function as one unit
because through its perfect interconnectivity it is in fact a single
entity. This perfectly lubricated system is not achievable in the real
world, so any actual system will at best asymptotically approach this
ideal. A network with a CI score of 0 is the opposite: no information
would move at all, so it’s a non-functioning network, at least in that
iteration.
