"Remember that each triple really represents a path from SOURCE to SON of length DISTANCE , where the next-to-last hop on that path is FATHER"

Good to know that I can simply run SPF to find out where my Dad went when he popped out to get milk 15 years ago

Lol so I don't know if this is common in math(s) or not, but the original spec for the shortest-path first (SPF) algorithm in 1978 used the term "son" and "father" to describe one node going to another https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA053450.pdf

(To be more precise, it's a complete bipartite graph)
