## Peer ## Node
Peers are actors within the `ubisync` network. They provide a way for apps to share data to other peers, manage and search it. A peer has exactly one active I2P identity at any given time. Brigdes the gap between a peer in the `ubisync` network and apps wanting to interact with it. The node contains the peer, a means of storing data such as elements, permissions etc., and should expose an API for apps to use.
In the common use case, a peer represents one device of a user, while the family represents the user himself (as the collection of all of his devices). Typically, each device of a user runs exactly one node.

Thus, the pot and its app type provides context to the loose collection of tagged elements inside it. Group of elements, every element belongs to exactly one pot.
