 An extent collects its nodes not by a single list, but by a number of (doubly linked) lists. Currently, 16 lists are used, but this can easily be changed. This feature is used to partition the extents. The 16 lists are called the extent indexes. An extent collects its nodes not by a single list, but by a number of (doubly linked) lists.

-Extents are used by the [[:01_user_documentation:07_rgg_xl:03_query_graph|query graph]] to access the nodes of the graph. In this process, nodes can be "hidden" to queries by being on a extent index non visible by the query scope. Non visible nodes are not visited and "ignored" by the queries, they are not visited at all (thus, efficient to speed up queries). For the RGG model graph, queries use only the seven first indexes by default.
