Nodes
⬢⬢⬢⬢
In the Shiro Network, a physical network node, is a single communications point of physical or real space made up of tessellate substrate, sometimes referred to as plate-nodes. They are a key part of the larger physical replication network of hyphae, creating a mycelium substrate that is the base grid for all things within an Ohnyluh to be replicated from.
Each hyphae is itself a bioengineered, microscopic replication device that works collaboratively with its neighboring hyphae to process and complete replicative tasks. The mycelium masses of hyphae filaments (called shiro) are designed to grow into tightly woven, hexagonal shaped patterns which can be aligned in tessellated formations. These plate nodes are flexible but strong as the bioengineering has allowed for the over production of the natural polymer chitin in the cell walls of the mycelium. This is the basis for Flora-Plate Nodes which have yet to be programmed with specific architectural data. Once they are programmed and replicated, a series of mycorrhizal connection points are created to which information and data can be transmitted between the nature and environment of the Ohnyluh and the Shiro Network which monitors it.
Plate nodes each have an assigned Shiro Network Protocol or SNP address which allows the Shiro Network the communicative ability to maintain the conditions of the nature of each individual Flora-Plate Node and each individual Ohnyluh.
Nodes, can also refer to a physical electronic device within a network capable of receiving, creating or transmitting information across a transceiver communications channel.
Many networked device nodes are given a YnntaNet or TromyNet Protocol address or TNP, such as Adsigns, Adwalls, Kiosks, Replicators and some autonomous objects such as Bhots.
A TNP address is permanently assigned to device nodes in the case of Mobile Replication Units as they are directly linked to their individual hosts and Fixed Replication Units due to their persistent interactions with hosts and need to stay updated and transceiving information at all times.
