# Implementation Details
## Logic Trees
The logic trees of epistemic uncertainty described in previous section are represented internally
using graphs of indexed nodes that connect a `root` node with one or more `leaf` nodes:

The different logic trees for sources, MFDs and GMMs have similar representations:

And each unique branch combination across all trees is considered in the hazard integral:
