NODES is an acronym which stands for:
Network
Operation
Design
Engineering
System
Basically, it is to become a "quality discernment system" for everything
The destination of search technology is agent technology. All search "engines" will eventually beocome "agents" with native intelligence discernment abilities.
The purpose of the NODES network is to establish the basic structure and software for this endeavor.
You can think of "quality discernment" as the "opposite of advertising." Advertising is about money whereas quality discernment is about "finding the good stuff" and sharing that information for free.
