The concept of nodes is well known. For example, the nodal system of the people you know continuously grows and becomes more complex. Firstly you have your family, then the people you meet in elementary school, high school, and then university. Then you met your friend’s friends and so on. The number of nodes continuously increases with no end in sight.
In lecture, Professor Ogden described how William Gibson uses a complex nodal system with his characters in his novel. Each chapter starts out fragmented with a set of characters, but as the plot develops the characters interact with each other and connections between the characters are made. In the end all the characters are linked together through one another.
