How does SAFE Network keep track of itself in terms of state/health

Great thread title/question OP. I just finished reading the thread updates to the Secure Random Relocation RFC and was about to ask, “What metrics does SAFE use to determine section health?” I decided to search the forum first and found this thread and some familiar faces.

I don’t mean to hijack the thread, but what kind of metrics are used to trigger a relocation/split/merge? My intuition tells me it has to do with the number of members in a group/section and if there are too many then the infants are kicked out, too few and it get’s merged with another section that has too few nodes. I’m sure there is a lot more to it, so if anyone has a reference or two, please let me know. @mav mentioned sections ‘most in need’ are relocated/targeted, so maybe he has read something recently he could send our way? What have I missed?

Edit: I think I’ve found some of what I was looking for… what else do I need?
