Legacy.svg Legacy: This article describes a concept that has been superseded in the course of ongoing development on the Organic Design wiki. Please do not develop this any further or base work on this concept, this is only useful for a historic record of work done. You may find a link to the currently used concept or function in this article, if not you can contact the author to find out what has taken the place of this legacy item.

Quantum in the context of nodal reduction, represents change and a minute timeslice of processing. Also called Quanta in the plural, the processing is as close as possible O(1) and should certainly never be O(n). We keep all language specific processing O(1), and leave all higher-O to nodally reducable structure.
