Quotes About Nodes

Like the rhizome, each node in a distributed network may establish direct communication with another node, without having to appeal to a hierarchical intermediary. Yet in order to initiate communication, the two nodes must speak the same language. This is why protocol is important. Shared
~ Alexander R. Galloway
I had tumors on both ovaries, and the cancer had spread into my lymph nodes and surrounding tissues.
~ Cobie Smulders
Scalability is this idea of coming up with a blockchain that can scale much larger than existing chains essentially by processing transactions in parallel. And moving away from this paradigm where every single node on the network has to process every single transaction.
~ Vitalik Buterin
I think what actually works best is local-level individual targeting of key leadership nodes.
~ John Abizaid
The view of living systems as networks provides a helpful new perspective on the so-called hierarchies of nature. For example, we can picture an ecosystem schematically as a network with a few nodes. Each node represents an organism, which means that each node, when magnified, appears itself as a network. Each node in the new network may represent an organ, which in turn will appear as a network when magnified, and so on.In other words, the web of life consists of networks within networks.
~ Fritjof Capra
There are characters which are continually creating collisions and nodes for themselves in dramas which nobody is prepared to act with them. Their susceptibilities will clash against objects that remain innocently quiet.
~ George Eliot
If you're unable to catch it in time, the cancer can spread to the lymph nodes and at that point, the cancer is essentially incurable, but that doesn't mean your condition can't be improved.
~ Len Dawson
A node's betweenness score equals the percentage of minimal paths that go through a node. In a social network, people with high betweenness scores know more information and wield more power.
~ Scott E. Page
Hierarchies are 'dissectible' into their constituent branches, on which the holons form the 'nodes'. The number of levels which a hierarchy comprises is called its 'depth', and the number of holons on any given level its 'span'.
~ Arthur Koestler
Q: Q: You said getElementsByTagName returns a list. Do you mean an array? A: A: It returns an object that you can treat like an array, but it's actually an object called a NodeList. A NodeList is a collection of Nodes, which is just a technical name for the element objects that you see in the DOM tree. You
~ Eric Freeman
Kaye glared at him for a moment, both challenged and exasperated. "We don't have to posit self-awareness, conscious thought, to have an organized network that responds to its environment and issues judgments about what its individual nodes should look like," Kaye said.
~ Greg Bear
Forming of a web of information nodes rather than a hierarchical tree or an ordered list is the basic concept behind HyperText.
~ Tim Berners-Lee
The possible solutions to a given problem emerge as the leaves of a tree, each node representing a point of deliberation and decision.
~ Niklaus Wirth
In contrast to Pareto's pyramid and Kuznets's rollercoaster ride, its essence is a distributed network whose many nodes, larger and smaller, are interconnected in a web of flows.
~ Kate Raworth
Both T cells and neural network nodes compete for the right to commandeer the resources of the system in which they abide. And both show a seeming "willingness" to live by the rules which dictate self-denial. This combination of competition and selflessness turns an agglomeration of electronic or biological components into a learning machine with a quandary-solving power vastly beyond that of any individual module it contains.
~ Howard Bloom
Two nodes connected by a link are two nodes in proximity. They are two grains of space in contact with each other: this "touching" constructs the structure of space.
~ Carlo Rovelli
A calculation, in fact, demonstrates that without nodes, physical space has no volume. In other words, it is in the nodes of the graph, not in the lines, that the volume of space "resides." The lines "link together" individual volumes sitting at the nodes.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Space is a spin network whose nodes represent its elementary grains, and whose links describe their proximity relations. Spacetime
~ Carlo Rovelli
We are complex nodes in a rich web of reciprocal information.
~ Carlo Rovelli
The universalists place the active nodes of linguistic life—the deep structures—so deep as to defy observation and description. Or to use Steiner's analogy: Try to draw up the creature from the depths of the sea, and it will disintegrate or change form grotesquely.
~ Neal Stephenson
When half the nodes of a random graph the size of most real-world networks are removed, the network is destroyed. But when the same procedure is carried out against a scale-free model of a similar size, 'the giant connected component resists even after removing more than 80 per cent of the nodes, and the average distance within it [between nodes] is practically the same as at the beginning
~ Niall Ferguson
The value of your network goes up exponentially when you view your contacts and resources not as a list but as a network of nodes on a graph. Think of the number of connections that can connect two different nodes on that graph. It's exponential compared to the number of items in a list that connect directly to you. The way you create the network effect is by encouraging people in your network to connect to each other and to help each other.
~ James Altucher
Just like the brain consists of billions of highly connected neurons, a basic operating unit in a neural network is a neuron-like node. It takes input from other nodes and sends output to others.
~ Fei-Fei Li
Machines such as these emerged in the 1950s, and during the subsequent thirty years there were two historic innovations that caused them to revolutionize how we live: microchips allowed computers to become small enough to be personal appliances, and packet-switched networks allowed them to be connected as nodes on a web.
~ Walter Isaacson
