I just finished half-life past week but did not get deeper in the lore. But by what i just read they definitely can't be called "hive mind". Here the thing; the "Vortessence" by what i get is more like a way of communicating; like speak and do signal language at the same time. It increase the bandwidth, more can be said with less words. Thanks the reply.
