information waves - two further notes

- As pulses, sequences of local (one-to-one) information transfer among autonomous agents are better conceived as solitons rather than continuous waves.

- the medium of information transfer which is comprised of constituent agents has a further property of latency (as well as a delay effect in the case of messages incoming from different sources). The latency is not only caused by processing but also by routing decisions - whether and when to pass a message on.
