Trying to understand the concept of networks means to deal with the absolut and onnipresent abstraction. Potentially everything is a network.
Losing the path in this totality is too easy but in the same way chosing one is too complicate and limitating.
A first step should be not to deal with the complexity of an ever changing figure but to reduce the possibilities fighiting the abstraction with a stronger one and try to build the concept of network starting from the absence of it.
Following my past research on the meaning of space and form as a wider theory called Science of Art (SoA), I'll try to built an evolutionary map of the network as a living structure, born from the interaction of our cognitive system and the physical world, taking place in the visual rappresentation but not limited to vision, however related with the synesthetic interrelation of senses and perception itself. In this step by step process I will arrive to analyze both the object of the network given by the possibile relation between its fundamenta elements and both the subject or individual who is constantly defining and defined by the object network.

Which is the relation between the concept of network and the concept of space?
What does it means to represent a network in an empty and infinite space or in a defined space full of other objects as it can be the geographical map?
Does the network defined a space? Is the space defined by a network?
The first step in this journey of abstracting concepts is a movement which doesn't produce sound, a step without feet or even ground. Our mind is capable to think total emptyness, where no objects or any kind of limitation allow perspective. Infinite space, 'nothingness', total abstraction. If this mental space is an illusion, as the infinite reflection of two mirrors facing each other, or an ontological truth, as the reality behind the veil of maya, is an interesting discourse that can be taken in another moment, but actually it doesn't change the fact that human beings are caple of an inner perception of total abstraction. The space behind space/form, the freedom of immagination against the cage of perception. Every object inserted in the emptyness is a stand alone element which can be percived only in its inner relations, nothing else exist to limit it and to take another point of view if not the one form the object itself. Actually it can be questioned if only the object exists while the space without limits becomes a symptom of non-existence, of non-spaceness, the absence proper of the 'nothingness'. Creation takes place ex nihilo as to build understanding and consciousness requires first a certain degree of decreation or destruciton which takes place in this intellectual and existential level.
Abstracted from the swarming world, the concept of network takes place in this immaginary space where it becomes the king of a kingdom which is itself.
Experiencing something in this space means to leave the point of view which allows to see the object as an object, instead it requires to become the object, and this means experiencing it as a subject. This process where the perception of subjectivity is forcedly mediated by an object, can be called objectual subjectification and basically it push consciousness to migrate from its body to another object as a kind of psychological transfer. Furthermore it enlights how in our ordinary life we always are in a process of objectual subjectification which main object and home base is our body, and our mind is transfered there living as a whole.
From this intra-perspective, the network too can became a living whole and an object that can be lived. The body as a network
