node-based
Connected point system
Node-based describes systems built around discrete points (nodes) connected by relationships or pathways.
In software, node-based interfaces let users build complex operations by connecting visual blocks rather than writing code: Blender uses a node-based system for materials and compositing.
The term appears in game engines, audio software, and programming environments where visual workflows replace traditional scripting.
