/**
* Interface for interacting with component networks.
* <p/>
* Computers and components form ad-hoc "networks" when placed next to each
* other. They allow computers to communicate with the components attached to
* them, as well as components to send signals to computers they are attached to
* (and even among each other).
* <p/>
* Whenever a networkable component is placed, it should first scan its
* neighbors to see if a network already exists. If so, it should join that
* network. If multiple different networks are adjacent it should join one and
* then merge it with the other(s). If no networks exist, it should create a new
* one. All this logic is provided by `Network.joinOrCreateNetwork`.
* <p/>
* Note that for network nodes implemented in `TileEntities` adding and
* removal is automatically provided on chunk load and unload. When a block is
* placed or broken you will have to implement this logic yourself (i.e. call
* `Network.joinOrCreateNetwork` in `onBlockAdded` and `Network.remove` in
* `breakBlock`.
* <p/>
* All other kinds of nodes have to be managed manually. See `Node`.
* <p/>
* There are a couple of system messages to be aware of. These are all sent by
* the network manager itself:
* <ul>
* <li>`network.connect` is generated when a node is added to the network,
* with the added node as the sender. This will also be sent to the nodes of
* the other network, when a network merges with another one (both ways).</li>
* <li>`network.disconnect` is generated when a node is removed from the
* network, with the removed node as the sender. This will also be sent to the
* nodes of the other network(s), when a network is split (all pairs).</li>
* </ul>
* <p/>
* IMPORTANT: do *not* implement this interface yourself and create
* instances of your own network implementation; this will lead to
* incompatibilities with the built-in network implementation (which can only
* merge with other networks of its own type). Always use the methods provided
* in `Network` to create and join networks.
