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).

That's right we keep all language specific stuff O(1), and leave all higher-O to nodally reducable structure. --Nad 17:15, 19 Jun 2006 (NZST)
