# nodes

Every node of the compiled model appears here once: rules, relations, types, norms, interpretations, source editions, fragments. The `kind` of each row comes from the normative schema, so a document with an undeclared kind is refused instead of silently dropped. A `nodes` row proves that the node exists in the model. It proves nothing about whether a rule fires, whether a norm binds anyone, or whether the author read the source correctly.

## Fields

From the live dictionary on the reference fixture:

| field |
|---|
| `id` |
| `kind` |
| `package` |
| `package_name` |
| `path` |

## Example

One meaningful query on the reference fixture (6 rows):

```lawq
from n in package("demo.lawqlbase").nodes where n.kind == "rule" select n.id as id
```
