Schematic of the different communication regimes based on the path processing score (PPS) measurement, and their associations to the spread of information (communication mode) along the shortest path, as assessed through path broadcasting strength (PBS)

Communication regime (PPS)	Broadcasting level (PBS)	Communication mode
Direct communication (single-edge shortest path, PPS not defined)	Low broadcasting → Single-edge routing
	High broadcasting → Multi-edge routing
Absent communication (PPS < 0)	No broadcasting No communication along shortest path along shortest path
Relay communication (PPS ≅ 0)	Low broadcasting → Routing relay path
	High broadcasting → Broadcasting relay path
Transducted communication (PPS > 0)	Low broadcasting → Routing transduction
	High broadcasting → Broadcasting transduction
