I don't think I am very good at asking pure data related questions.
the 1000 milliseconds is an arbitrary number.
I am just trying to deduce that a 1 is not being sent or received. for any amount of time.
so the example I gave was everything that wasn't a 1 in that second would be spat out as a zero.
A very useful idiom in Pd is what I'd call an "activity monitor". This is something which will report whenever an activity stops to happen for a certain time.
The attached patch has such a monitor. The basic idea is very simple: Just exploit the fact, that a [delay] object will reset itself whenever it receives a new bang-message, which means, that it will not produce a bang, until banging stops for as long as the delay period is.
With some [change] logic you can turn that into a 0/1 activity monitor.
