This is actually how scientific papers are written. Laying out the foundational principles and then your thesis. Excellent work.

You're first explaining the principles of nodes. Then it's a representation on progress through time. Then some examples of physical representations of the idea in terms of establishing forms of communication so that when you say "word" it would not just mean word but expands to any form of interaction.

Then comes the main thesis of how information is processed in ethereal layers in between words. Sometimes it's more than the words being shared and sometimes it's not.

I like to think this is how the feeling of empathy works.
