What Is Shared?
While there is no single point of contention within the software/hardware components of SN systems, it should be noted that information from disparate nodes may still need to be reintegrated at some point. Such points occur wherever an information system that is outside the SN architecture queries information from disparate nodes within the SN architecture for a single purpose. Examples of such external nodes might be:
- persons (minds) who look at two SN nodes and decide that they hold or process data about the same thing (simply recognising that two nodes belong to the same SN system would be sufficient)
- any software/hardware system that is written to query different nodes within the SN architecture
