I'm not sure I followed any of that except the data structures analogy (Yes, child nodes are called leaves if they have no children of their own) but it was fun to read.
Noting that I don't actually understand what half your words mean, just on a style note, I think the analogy that roots turn into fascism came out of nowhere. Actually, the whole second half of that paragraph feels really rushed, especially compared to the loving descriptions of data models earlier in the piece.
