We use the term peer to refer to a man, women or other sentient being who is a member of an organisation, project or [[trust group]]. We use this tern rather than simply "person" because the legal meaning of person includes attributes which belong in the top-down domain. The word "peer" implies equality and freedom much more strongly than "person" does.

In the [[nodal model]] a [[peer]] is any software which implements a [[node space]] and applies [[nodal reduction]] to it. thus becoming part of the global [[Nodal Network]]. Since peers are instances of running software, they are tied to a particular [[w:runtime|runtime]] environment and thus are associated with the various resources like storage and bandwidth which are accessible locally from that environment.

We use the term peer to refer to a man, women or other sentient being who is a member of an organisation, project or trust group. We use this tern rather than simply "person" because the legal meaning of person includes attributes which belong in the top-down domain. The word "peer" implies equality and freedom much more strongly than "person" does.
