Why is it necessary to diode isolate a glass break sensor and motion sensor if there not connected to the door sensor?

Can u explain how and why the feedback would occur without any of the sensor's being  triggered?  Thanks

If both sensors are connected to a dedicated (not shared with door trigger) sensor input (same zone) of your brain, logically that doesn't matter because your brain can't identify which is which when it's triggered.
When they are connected together to the door trigger, for instance, feedback can cause your domelight to be on unexpectedly. Other than that, isolation with diode doesn't make much sense.
Say I connected hood and trunk triggers to the same input, same zone violation appears on your 2-way remote display anyway.

A diode STOPS both a NEG(-) signal and a POS(+) signal from going in a certain direction....depending on the placement of the diode.

In some cases....bigger IS better...

taking this diagram as correct, why is it that if you use an ohmmeter it shows continuity if I use the (+) of the ohmmeter to the (+) of the # 1 diagram and the (-) of the ohmmeter to the (-) of the diagram?  Is it because electricity travels (-) to (+)?
