If you have Virtual Realities (1.0, not the new 2.0), that has
computer-generated pics of "actual nodes" which represent the UMS
(Universal Matrix Standard) specifications. Basically, for a non-sculpted
system the nodes look more or less like high-tech geometrical shapes --
cubes, pyramids, and so on, corresponding to the flat drawings in SRII.
Sculpted systems, OTOH, look like whatever they were programmed to look
like: a datastore appear like a room filled with books, for example, while
the CPU may resemble someone sitting a CEO's office. Most often with
systems like this, the whole system follows a certain "style," like an
office building, a village, a medieval castle, or anything the designers
programmed into the system.
