Signal Decoding
Decoding downloaded signals is the process of extracting a blueprint from the received data.
Once a signal is downloaded, it can be read (decoded), individual blueprints can be identified within it, and then saved to a data carrier. This process produces fully functional blueprints ready for use in production.
Degradation During Storage
Due to cosmic radiation, sensitive signals stored on a positron matrix are highly unstable, and any operation — such as reading — significantly reduces their integrity. This phenomenon of data degradation is well known, which is why it is essential to decode the most valuable blueprints first. With each subsequent read, the probability of successfully extracting another blueprint decreases. It is not uncommon for the saving of one blueprint to damage another.
