In addition to my last mail I would like to add that a truer network can only be formed without the chain and all connections to the controller. In reality the hierarchy of tasks is not always the same I.e. for humans if you are tired you go to bed in preference to watching TV, but if the TV is good on another night and you are exactly the same amount tired then you might watch TV instead of going to bed. For simple control hierarchy, my network idea would work, but for an adaptive hierarchy a more complex software solution is needed. Happy Christmas Tim
