Hal could assign random names, but then you'd have them show up in a HAL listing as net_001 or something. You can see the net names listed as "signals" in the show hal config menu when LinuxCNC is running. So, the names are not "floating", they are assigned to carry the value of some specific output pin to one or more input pins.
