Nodality

A node must conform to certain communication standards. Our node implementation is called Nodality. Although nodes may span several machines, Nodality is only designed to have each instance spanning a single machine. However, several Nodality instances may run simultaneously on the same machine.

Nodality is actually a very minimal, do-nothing node--doesn't even have any kind of user interface. Instead, it's designed to be embedded in other applications, as we will see next.
