Of course, his existence refuses to change as a result, so it's mostly amusing.
Well, anyway, this is a tad dangerous, isn't it. Better seal it off.
This one's a little tricky, since he's trying to operate three dimensions and his template only covers one, but...
Carefully, he removes a cloth from his backpack. Despite being made fabric, it's rigid as a board, and refuses to be tilted away from vertical; he has to pull it straight out, without rotating it.
Then he walks fearlessly up to the node, and swipes the fabric across it.
As the fabric strikes the node, there is a sudden ... "sound," a sensation that a gong has been rung, without the attendant noise; the trembling in one's bones and in one's ears, but without the actual sound. And when the fabric strikes the node, instead of passing through, it deforms, bending around it.
As the fabric bends, the node seems to recede infinitely into the distance, without actually moving. And then the man wraps the fabric entirely around the node, twisting it off and tying it shut - and the node vanishes entirely.
