As potential testifiers, children as a class are paranodal because they are excluded form the court, at the same time that their status as children serves to reinforce our status as adult nodes in the legal network. More web-related examples of the paranodal could include expelled Facebook users, cached web pages, etc... Allan,

Thanks, would an example of a paranodal space be a site which focused on a political issue from a neutral viewpoint, providing the means for discourse with moderation, but no bias? Or would this network grow in an unbalanced manner? Is there an example of paranodal or is it more theoretical? Very Interesting.
