Abstract

A system that includes an administrative device configured to send a first remap node command that includes a correlithm object key and identifies an output correlithm object type. The system further includes a first device configured to receive the first remap node command and to obtain the correlithm object key from the first remap node command. The first device is further configured to access the first node table linked with the first node, to determine the first remap node command identifies an output correlithm object type, to re-encode the first set of output correlithm objects using the correlithm object key in response to determining the first remap node command identifies an output correlithm object type, and to shuffle the order of the re-encoded first set of output correlithm objects.
