-	// Callbacks can also modify further flags of the same node or other nodes. State

-	// (deadlocks should be avoided by design of the implemented state logic). The caller
-	// can also add timeouts assigned to a certain node and a subset of state flags.
-	// If the timeout elapses, the flags are reset. If all relevant flags are reset then
-	// the timer is dropped. State flags with no timeout are persisted in the database
-	// if the flag descriptor enables saving. If a node has no state flags set at any
-	// moment then it is discarded.
-	//
-	// Extra node fields can also be registered so system components can also store more
-	// complex state for each node that is relevant to them, without creating a custom
-	// peer set. Fields can be shared across multiple components if they all know the
-	// field ID. Subscription to fields is also possible. Persistent fields should have
-	// an encoder and a decoder function.
+	// NodeStateMachine implements a network node-related event subscription system.
+	// It can assign binary state flags and fields of arbitrary type to each node and allows
+	// subscriptions to flag/field changes which can also modify further flags and fields,
+	// potentially triggering further subscriptions. An operation includes an initial change
+	// and all resulting subsequent changes and always ends in a consistent global state.
+	// It is initiated by a "top level" SetState/SetField call that blocks (also blocking other
+	// top-level functions) until the operation is finished. Callbacks making further changes
+	// should use the non-blocking SetStateSub/SetFieldSub functions. The tree of events
+	// resulting from the initial changes is traversed in a breadth-first order, ensuring for
+	// each subscription callback that all other callbacks caused by the same change triggering
+	// the current callback are processed before anything is triggered by the changes made in the
+	// current callback. In practice this logic ensures that all subscriptions "see" events in
+	// the logical order, callbacks are never called concurrently and "back and forth" effects
+	// are also possible. The state machine design should ensure that infinite event cycles

+	// is dropped. State flags with no timeout are persisted in the database if the flag
