The terminology for users trying to master Hormones
Hormones is a plugin made for optimizing server networks. A server network is like a large organism, with different tissues, belonging to different organs, connected by the circulatory system (blood). The blood contains hormones, responsible for transmitting different signals between tissues and organs.
There are different types of hormones, carrying different signals. Some hormones are only effective on certain organs, and tissues of other organs should ignore them.
Sometimes tissues are dead, and they get cleaned by phagocytes. Hormones provides a phagocyte.php
script that kills servers when they become offline for a long time.
Direct nervous system (direct connections between servers) is likely to produce a vagus nerve (servers connecting wrongly), so I'm not gonna create it in this plugin 😆
The terminology for people trying to contribute to this project
Hormones are brought to tissues through arteries, so the task for downloading data to the server is called Artery
.
On the other hand, to send hormones to the circulatory system, hormones enter the circulatory system through veins, so the task for uploading data to the network is called Vein
.
There are also lymph vessels to return materials to the circulatory system, but it's less rapid. In our case, we need to update the central database about the status of each server, which does not need to be reported rapidly.
After a while, the hormones have circulated through the organism, and they are no longer needed. They are broken down by the liver into urea and extracted from blood by the kidney. In our case, liver and kidney have similar function, so they are generalized as the Kidney
