: Depends upon how you look at it
: I suppose that infection forms could leech onto it, but they couldn't control
: it because infection forms utilize chemicals to tap into living organism's
: nervous systems (via their spine-like probes) and control them

I suspect that infection forms are susceptible to electric shock, which would make that somewhat difficult for them
Additionally, the fact that we've never seen anything like that indicates that it's impossible

: Possibly a pureform could "morph" around it and use electrical
: impulses to manipulate the circuitry and control it (which means it would
: not work on sentinels because they don't actually have circuitry)
: That second possiblility is purely theoretical

And probably impossible-we've only ever seen pureforms in the three forms, if they could easily morph to others, and if they had the capability to use electrical impulses in the manner you describe, we probably would have seen that
