Wouldn't the obvious situation be the feedback between nodes and networks?

It would seem the essence of the node is synchronization, everything on the same wavelength. Which is centripetal. Lasers are synchronized light waves.

While the essence of the network is harmonization, as all these waves rise and fall across infinity.

The biggest problem I have with modern physics, is how it treats time.

As these mobile organisms, this sentient interface our body has with its situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our experience of time is the present moving past to future.

As it is the basis of culture and civilization, as narrative and history, it is foundational to the accumulation of knowledge.

Yet the evident reality is that activity and the resulting change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no physical dimension of time, no block time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

"Energy" is conserved, because it manifests this presence, creating time, temperature, pressure, color and sound, as frequencies and amplitudes, rates and degrees.

The energy goes past to future, because the patterns generated come and go, future to past.

Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall. No tiny strings necessary.

Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past.

Though it is the digestive system processing the energy and feeding the flame, while the nervous system sorts the patterns, signals from the noise.

So there is this tendency among academia to focus on the patterns and squeeze any hint of the underlaying dynamics into the most infinitesimal patterns.

We do have a similar problem with energy, as with consciousness, as it can only be defined in terms of the forms expressed.

Then back to the nodes in the networks, the signals we pick out of the noise are what resonates and synchronizes with our prior knowledge. Creating that centripetal effect, of building on the prior stage. like rings of a tree. Yet the core of that structure goes back to when we are most emotional and least informed.

Which applies to social dynamics as well, in that in order to get anywhere, we have to build on what is there. Often patching it, when falsification might be in order. "Change happens one funeral at a time."

I could develop this somewhat further, but find it starts to step on too many toes.

Galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in. The quasars showing out the poles are like giant lasers.
