Example nodal structures

Legacy: This article describes a concept that has been superseded in the course of ongoing development on the Organic Design wiki. Please do not develop this any further or base work on this concept, this is only useful for a historic record of work done. You may find a link to the currently used concept or function in this article, if not you can contact the author to find out what has taken the place of this legacy item.

About the diagrams

Nodes and list-items: All nodes are list items in a list space (a node space is a subset of a list space), this distinction has been indicated in the diagrams by making the nodal-list-items white and the non-nodal-list-items gray.

Arrows: All list-items are composed of three list item keys which are each an index to another list-item. Note that the indexes refer to an entire list item of three keys, not to an individual key within an item. The arrows in the diagrams show this by the start points being inside one of the list-item-keys, but the end point connects to the edge which is common to all three keys. So all arrows point from a list-item-key to a list-item.

This is an article for discussing and displaying various nodal structures and examples. These diagrams are being made online with Gliffy, login with email address aran@organicdesign.co.nz and password project to modify or create new nodal diagrams.

Nodal loops

This is example shows a complete loop of six nodes made from Right and Left nodal associations. The NEXT and PREV are the first two traversable node indexes which translate to the two single-bit paths.

This example shows how a single path of two successive 1's (called TEST in this example) doesn't conflict with two successive Right (1) traversals. It's because traversal is a list space operation, but loops are formed from associations in node space.
