Electrical Charge

undefined:

An electrical charge is the ability of a sentient headspace to regulate its own headspace by taking action against any threat/danger and any potential damage.

For example, a sentient headspace may act as a protector to a living being with whom it shares symbiosis, by keeping any harm from happening to their symbiotics (e.g, if a headmate enters in contact with another headmate with malicious intent, the headspace may decide to send an electric charge to the malicious headmate to keep them away, thus securing their symbiotic).

Etymology

 * The word "charge" refers to the verb "to charge (something)" in its many forms (either physically, legally or financially) because the sentient space is taking action against something to preserve itself/secure something or someone.
 * The word "electrical" refers to the feeling this kind of charge might give (an electric charge that makes you jump and stay away from the source of said electric charge; either literally, or as a metaphor to someone who realizes their actions actually have consequences after being shaken up).
