| − | State is non-nodal content like file-handles, text and object or function references. Every [[node]] exhibits such a ''state'' which is its encapsulation of the concept it represents ''in terms of the local [[Wikipedia:Runtime|runtime]] environment''. If the node has no representation in terms of the local environment, then a request of its state returns the local representation of ''void''. | |

| − | Note that, a node's ''state'' is not an association, but rather a method of the actual [[Node]] definition. This is because the associations are purely nodal and can only exist as ''nodeRef:nodeRef'' pairs. We can't put non-nodal content directly into a [[Nodal Space]], but we can "attach" it to nodes.
