In [[Node Theory]], a class defines what kind of [[Node|node]] something is—what languages it can speak, what patterns it can recognize, and what other nodes it can meaningfully interact with. Classes are not rigid categories but rather family-like groupings that share common properties and capabilities while allowing for variation and evolution.

== Overview ==

Classes act like character types in the cosmic play of the [[Linguiverse]]. Each class defines a set of potential behaviors, interactions, and pattern-processing capabilities that its member nodes can exhibit. However, classes are hierarchical—most are subclasses of larger, more general classes, forming intricate trees of inherited properties and capabilities.

== Key Characteristics ==

=== Property Inheritance ===
* Core capabilities pass down hierarchies
* Shared pattern recognition abilities
* Common interaction modes
* Basic language capabilities

=== Boundary Definition ===
