# Slot: source_network 


_Path or name of the Network whose nodes define the source endpoints of this Edge. Symmetric counterpart to `target_network`. Together they let an Edge bridge any two Networks: both unset (within-Network edge), one set (this Network ↔ the named one), or both set (peer-to-peer projection between two other Networks). Accepts either an absolute IRI (peer Network) or the relative-path sentinel `parent` / `parent/parent` (cross-scale up/down via the Node.subnetwork hierarchy)._
