what is the difference between "inside a box" and "of a box"?

I encounter this sentence lately. "Here, x and y are the most connected nodes inside each box and that of each box respectively". Could anyone explain to me what is the difference between "inside each box" and "of each box"? Many thanks for your time and attention.

I renew my plea for context. I think this is a slightly-doctored quote from a paper on fractal networks. Networks are graphs of nodes and the lines that connect them.

  • The paper describes how to group the nodes into boxes, and treat the boxes as nodes in their own right.
  • Presumably, two boxes are connected if there's a node in one that connects to a node in the other, but I haven't read the whole paper.
