imagine you keep chickens , and you want to name them grant to the Borg designations ? So if you ’ve got four Gallus gallus , they ’re one of four , two of four , etc . ? So far so good . But then what if one conk and is replaced ? That ’s the dilemma one message plug-in considered .
Over atStack Exchange , a chicken - owner explained a steamy Borg - related issue :
“ I have some chickens name with Borg denomination . There wereoriginally 4 , so each of them was N of 4 . Two of them cash in one’s chips though , thenI mother two unexampled ones , so should the unexampled ones get their own groupdesignation ( “ of 2 ” ) or should they become part of the original “ of 4″?I would like to be technically correct about this . ”
The answers are fairly awesome — and helpful , to anyone who need to raise Borg chickens :
in person , I think you should go with 5 of 4 and 6 of 4 . — KitFox
@Kit : Out of leaping index exception ! — DVK
In the episode “ Omega Directive ” Seven of Nine assigns her crewmates Borg - like appointment to indicate their status and team target area … Her convention is to apply the number to designate rank within the team . Since the borg do n’t defy ranks or possess individuality , it thereforefollows that you should simply give your unexampled chicken the firstavailable number within the team and to renumber the squad accordingly . — Richard
The flashback(s ) in VOY 6×02 , Survival Instinct , paint a picture they will not resize the group unless necessary to conciliate new lagger . — Izkata .
A side greenback that I ca n’t opine of reinforcement for at the minute : I believe Borg designations are more blood-related to rout addresses than anything else . Those would n’t change when a young node ( drone ) was add or removed , unless more distance was necessitate due to having too many lymph node ( drones ) . — Izkata .
Since Borg are essentially a distributedcomputing platform , routing savoir-faire seem like they would be veryimportant . ( Thankfully they never take in IPv6 , or it would take 30seconds to say any of their names … ) — Dacio
The new chickens must be diagnose Locutus and Hugh . you may assign thesebased on perceived personality , permit Hugh be whichever chicken youbelieve most likely to betray them all and fall for Lore ’s trick . — John O.
There ’s tons more where that came from . [ Stack Exchange ]
