You give them too much credit. There is no such fine grained control. Its more like an ant hill or an endocrine system.

Once a person has a score, all their credit behavior in life is recorded and can be evaluated by that number. The goal is to force people to obey out of fear of punishment in the reduction of this number and the resulting restrictions, which ultimately is expressed by the CCP in the following manner:

"It will allow the trustworthy to roam freely under heaven while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step"

It’s even worse than that: no direct fine-grained control, because the system trains the grains to control themselves and each other.
