Gene Compare int=1 ?

I understand the silence values (thanks, Malkin!), but I'm having trouble understanding the int="#" section of this comparison. There has been a mutation (0 to 1), but I have no idea what it means.

489 Different in file 1 34 0 Emb B MutDupCut 128 0 Wait (75) causes sig=0 GS neu=0 int=0, ,,,16 => 124*Wait + 0*<NONE> + 0*<NONE> + 0*<NONE>

489 Different in file 2 34 0 Emb B MutDupCut 128 0 Wait (75) causes sig=0 GS neu=0 int=1, ,,,16 => 124*Wait + 0*<NONE> + 0*<NONE> + 0*<NONE>


Help? :)

Ok, now with my weetie box diploma in norn genetics...

The "neu" section corresponds with a neuron in a brain lobe that's associated with an action. Receiving the stimulus prods that neuron, giving the creature the vaguest idea that they should do a particular thing in reaction to that stimulus. The int is how intensely that neuron is prodded, or how strongly the idea seizes upon the norn. The Gizmo Norns use a really interesting change of the action neuron and the intensity in response to 'I have been hit' - the norns are seized fairly strongly with the idea of running away. :)

Ghosthande's Breeders Beware keeps an ID list which shows you what the neurons correspond to.

Neuron 0 corresponds to 'look', which is the default reaction for most things. Whereas in most norns, the idea to look while they wait is but a passing thought, this norn's inclination to 'look' is ever so slightly more than the others.

Hope this helps. :)
