Never seen anyone else call them "nodes" tbh, i'm just using that 
terminology to try and communicate with you. The LLVM docs calls 
them instructions for example, so yeah technically an instruction 
that has a result, and that result represents the *value" of the 
variable at that point.

I mean SSA is always presented as a sequence of instructions, not 
a tree, so I dont even get why you call them nodes anyway.
