1. A method of determining location information for a first transmitting node interacting with a self-verifying array of nodes, the method comprising:
associating a respective unique identifier and a respective location for each of at least a first node of the self-verifying array of nodes, a second node of the self-verifying array of nodes and a third node of the self-verifying array of nodes, wherein at least the first node, the second node and the third node are in logical communication with each other, and wherein the first node, the second node and the third node are at a respective first location comprising respective first positional coordinates;
moving at least one of the first node, the second node, and the third node from the respective first location to a respective second location;
calculating respective second positional coordinates for at least one of the first node, the second node and the third node moved to the respective second location based on the logical communication between at least the first node, the second node and the third node of the self-verifying array of nodes, wherein the respective second positional coordinates correspond to the respective second location;
receiving a first communication from the first transmitting node at one or more of: the first node, the second node, and the third node of the self-verifying array of nodes, wherein at one or more of: the first node, the second node, and the third node has already moved from the respective first location to the respective second location, wherein the first transmitting node is moved into proximity of the self-verifying array of nodes, and wherein the first transmitting node is comprised within a wearable smart device;
extracting a first transmitting node unique identifier from the first communication;
calculating a region of location for the first transmitting node based upon the receiving of the first communication and the logical communication between at least the first node, the second node and the third node of the self-verifying array of nodes; and
transmitting a first message comprising at least the first transmitting node unique identifier and the region of location through the self-verifying array of nodes to a connected network.
