network
endpoints and hosts
A node carries no inherent meaning. What
network means here emerges from the edges traceable from it, and confidence in that meaning is proportional to how richly it is connected. It is connected to 2 of 23 primitives here. That, and not the sentence above, is what it means. The discipline this follows.The 2 primitives with this family
| Primitive | Published gloss | Spelled out | Undo | In how many shapes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
send.endpoint.allowed | Reach a permitted list of hosts | send.network-endpoint.tenant | no | 1 of 9 |
send.endpoint.world | Reach any host on the internet | send.network-endpoint.world | no | 6 of 9 |
