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. After you've made a new diagram, save it in gliffy so you can keep working on it later, and export as a PNG to upload into Organic Design. I prefer to crop them and give them a transparent background before uploading, you can do this in photoshop by creating a selection from one of the R,G or B channels, invert the selection, delete the background layer, create a new layer fill the selection black. Then save for web as a 24-bit PNG with transparency.

Nodal loops

This is example shows a complete loop of six nodes made from NEXT and nodePREV 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 NEXT (1) traversals. It's because traversal is a list space operation, but loops are formed from associations in node space.
