ANNOTATION:
Nodal Points

A search for the term "Nodal Point" revealed no results. I believe this to be a valid term that could in fact be adapted and subsequently adopted as a node or even modification to your organizational structure.

Definition - [very rough, will provide more detail if you are interested] The critical element, the maximum meaning, the true center of an informational system.

A nodal point is more than just a title or definition or summary. It is the critical subset of information that clearly captures the superset within which it lies. The nodal point of a node may not appear until several annotations later. The nodal point may be something that readers could discuss and refine so as to more carefully adapt language to represent symbols and ideas.

What do you think?
