S.O.L. in the intra- and extra-celular fluid.
One more really-important thing: the field is continuous and varies in
strength 'spherically'-nonlinearly at distance from the ion upon which it is
'centered'.
This, taken over the sum of all ions, enables exquisite precision in
microscopic tuning dynamics.
