Fundamental geometry
As was discussed in the node summary, the four "built in" associations of next, prev, parent and focus form a vertical hierarchical dimension, and a horizontal sequence-oriented dimension. So the fundamental topology of a node space is a lot like a grid in that the way one traverses from one node to another is along two orthogonal dimsions which could easily just be called N, E, W and S. It's not a grid that can be easily pictured though, because when interpreted geometrically, only the horizontal is a simple sequence when, the vertical which is related to space and diversity is more about volume.
Loops & threads
Containment in space and time
A thread or a loop when seen from the point of view of a child nodes operating within it, is like a sequence of slots in a schedule.
