Iron Bar

The Iron Bar protocol was written by Dr. Rosanna Hawkrite in an attempt to control the Synthetic Neural Networks and reduce the chances of Fragmentation Spikes occuring due to their damaging and possibly dangerous outcomes.

Implementation
Cartographer, having already been built, was modified to hold the Iron Bar Protocol on an externally mounted and modified ROM device. Iron Bar functioned flawlessly with Cartographer.

Skylark was still heavy into production so changes were made to the operating code to implement Iron Bar internally and without the need for an external ROM. This was the way with which it was done for each Synthetic Neural Network after Skylark.

Failure
Though Iron Bar performed perfectly with Cartographer, the Iron Bar protocol failed in both Skylark and Tracer. Due to its failure, another device was created, the Skylark Fail-Safe. The Iron Bar was never removed from any of the Synthetic Neural Networks.
