In the [[nodal model]], the [[spectrum]] is the set of [[node]]s which represent common frequencies used by the network such as ''minutes'' or ''days'' (spectral nodes). The spectrum is globally available and accurately synchronised with every other instance, so that all the frequencies are shared. ''Spectrum'' is one of the [[:Category:Nodal Concepts|nodal concepts]] making up the fundamental [[generic organisation]] concept which is the basic building block of all processes and functionality in the network.
 
 
 
= Harmonics =
 
As well as the specific frequency nodes created to match our own units of time, the network creates new frequencies which are ''harmonics'' of the existing ones. This is because the [[loop]]s of spectral nodes rotate one position for each cycle of the frequency, thus creating a new harmonic depending on the number of nodes in the loop.
 
 
 
This frequency-based rotation is a continuing outward to larger scales and longer cycles of the local rotating [[node space]] into the global [[nodal network]].
 
 
 
= Methods =
 
The higher cycles of seconds, minutes, days, months etc and their various harmonics are already included in the [[root]] structure, but they play an important role in the low-level conceptual structure as well. Each cycle is a [[node]] which represents a discrete point on the dimension called ''spectrum''. The [[loop|current-loop]] associated to each of these cycle-nodes are the processes which occur when it happens, ie they're the listeners of the event. The is achieved by the loop being unhooked from the cycle-node and hooked in to the currently reducing context. The last item in the loop hooks the loop back into the cycle-node, so that each "client" process has begun.
 
 
 
The methods of spectrum are an interface between the local nodal cycle range and the environment specific integration with time. Each local cycle within spectrum exhibits a loop of which is hooked in to nodal reduction each time it activates, and hooked back in to the cycle again when all the recipients have been reduced.
