This is explained in more detail in earlier blog posts, if you're not familiar with how Yggdrasil routes and care to read more.
In our package delivery example, imagine if the streets in Alice's town were laid out in a grid, and then named and numbered systematically by blocks, with street signs to label where any off-grid bypasses go.
Alice and friends still haven't bought maps, but they they know each other's *addresses* instead.
Alice and friends still haven't bought maps, but they know each other's *addresses* instead.
So, if Alice wants to contact Carol, she first travels to Bob's house and asks him for Carol's address.
Now, when she wants to deliver a package to Carol, she can simply follow the block structure of the town until she arrives on Carol's block, and she has the option to take any bypass she happens to come across if it brings her closer to Carol's place.
That's basically how routing on the tree, or taking an off-tree shortcut, work in Yggdrasil's greedy routing scheme, except with a tree instead of a grid (which, in addition to working everywhere, seems to work *well* in the places we care about).
