It’s not really “each node” but rather “most nodes.” :-) The daemon keeps track of all the references of each item, including self-references. And it turns out that most packages record their $prefix in their binaries, for instance, hence the self-reference. This can be seen with ‘guix gc --references’ as well. Ludo’.
