In the one-node world, I think of the seeds as the nodes including links to
other nodes.   That is, a seed is simply v and v.children.

The point is that the v.children links don't provide enough structure to
"place" a node anywhere!  The picture is that seeds are "self contained"
even though they point to other seeds.  Only the fingers (positions) put
seeds in context.
