I need a word (or short phrase) to refer to the portion of a network where
the edges converge or diverge (more than other parts of the network. Examples
might be a river delta or the branching (debranching?) of blood vessels or
lungs. "Plexus" or "knot" don't work because they could ambiguously refer to
something like a tapestry or ... well, a knot, where each thread remains
separate, but winds around other threads. Something close to "canalization"
seems appropriate. But I don't want to imply the generation (or dissolution) of
the thing. E.g. [arter|ang]iogenesis are not the type of words I'm looking for.
There's got to be a good word for such, perhaps from graph theory or
"network theory". Any help will be rewarded by an IOU for a pint of beer. 8^)
