Barrier Reflex (Term)

Is an involuntary reflex in Gens which is triggered when a Sime tries to draw Selyn from the Gen body.
Some Gens can control where the Barrier Threshold is by controlling their emotional state, up to a point. The barriers are a resistance against the Sime's selyn draw.  This resistance triggers the Sime reflex to obtain life at all costs, to survive, so the Sime draws selyn harder, burning the Gen's nervous system, usually causing death.
