In Node Theory, communication is more than just signal transmission—it occurs when patterns flow between nodes in ways that preserve or create meaning. A radio wave isn't communication until something can decode its patterns; a chemical reaction isn't communication until it triggers a consistent response.
Overview
True communication happens when patterns move between nodes in ways that maintain their relationships. Crucially, intention isn't required. Atoms communicate by exchanging photons, cells communicate by exchanging proteins. The medium doesn't matter—what matters is that patterns move between nodes in ways that maintain or create meaningful relationships. When this happens consistently enough, languages emerge.
