Nodes of interaction - transparent sublocales with their own coordinate
systems, joined by message/information/object passing barriers. Just spoof
a node. And have your builders place nodes in terms of reasonable
boundaries.

If you need more, I have a 12 page design document on nodes and
boundaries.
