==Interface== In the interface layer, humans connect to the network via computers equipped with radios. This is akin to conventional wifi, though the routing protocols, network architecture and radio frequencies may be slightly different. This is the surface of the mesh. This is what we are designing and building. Yet, the interface layer only works so long as individual human/computer nodes are able to communicate with one another - this requires each node to be within radio range of at least one other node. The idea works well, but only for localized communities, what we call digital villages. For a while, this is where we were stumped. We can make it so that nodes are able to communicate with all of the other nodes in their village, but the MIND needs to be global. That's where the backhaul comes in.
