 ### The Connection Algorithm
 
-Connect statements between ground types cannot be expanded further.
+Connect statements from a narrower ground type component to a wider ground type component will have its value automatically sign-extended or zero-extended to the larger bit width.
 
 Connect statements between two vector typed components recursively connects each sub-element in the right-hand side expression to the corresponding sub-element in the left-hand side expression.
