Fallback

Fallback is a property of strong sparkers that means the region with the spark dies quickly. Stronger sparks have greater fallback. Unlike clearance, while fallback can be good or poor, it cannot be quantitatively measured. Two examples of high-period sparkers with high fallback are 104P9 and the domino spark in Merzenich's p31.

Merzenich's p31 rephasing a fumarole to form 66P62 – this appears to be a p155 oscillator, but it is not. This perturbation is only possible because of Merzenich's p31 having an extremely high fallback. (click above to open LifeViewer) RLE: here Plaintext: here Catagolue: here
