The value of a [[node]] is obtained by using 0 as the [[binary traversal]] key (i.e [[association]] which actually means not to traverse anywhere at all). A node's [[focus]] is the item in its [[loop]] which will receive the next [[quantum]] of execution from [[nodal reduction]], and the node from which a [[quantum]] arrives is a node's parent.

The node from which a [[quantum]] arrives is a node's [[parent]] and is accessed via the [[nodePARENT]] association. The value of ''nodePARENT'' is maintained by [[nodal reduction]] rather than by the loop insert/remove functions so that moving a node from one node's focus to another's is an O<sub>1</sub>.

The value of a node is obtained by using 0 as the binary traversal key (i.e association which actually means not to traverse anywhere at all). A node's focus is the item in its loop which will receive the next quantum of execution from nodal reduction, and the node from which a quantum arrives is a node's parent.
