wiring
Building's nervous system
Wiring refers to a system of electrical wires and connections that distribute power or signals through a building, vehicle, or device.
The term also applies to the act of installing such a system: The electrician finished wiring the new addition.
Figuratively, wiring describes how something is internally configured or predisposed to function, especially the brain or nervous system: His wiring makes him naturally optimistic.
Faulty wiring is a common cause of electrical fires.
