“Passive voice” is a grammatical term.

“Amazon confirms 14,000 job losses,” is not an example of the passive voice.

“14,000 workers were fired by Amazon,” is an example of the passive voice.

There is not a 1:1 relationship between being vague about agency and using the passive voice.

This is also the inverse Gudermannian function [1]. That Wikipedia page has some nice geometrical insights.

The next pointer doesn’t have to go first in the structure here. It can go anywhere, and you can use @fieldParentPtr to go back from a reference to the embedded node to a reference to the structure.
