Not to be a spelling flamer but do you mean "area" or is "aria" a word
with which I am simply not familiar?

The way I understand it we do not want nodes to have multiple areas of
specialization. It is much better for each node to specialize in one area.

I have experimented with trying to force specialization by simply removing
keys from my ds which are not in my desired area of specialization. Then I
look at the keys that are being requested from me to see if the rest of
the network is learning. So far it isn't. :(
