But this seems to claim it solves some practical problem with parties. I don't know what that problems.
It's about what combinations of "nodes" with specific relations to others are possible in a group of different sizes
That's just a simple way to phrase the problem in concrete terms. The immediate applications are usually not of interest, unlike the novel techniques with which hard problems are solved.
