The key to this is the `secretHash`, which is what allows a transaction to span the network. Each of several transactions is locked with the `secretHash`. When the transaction has spanned from its originator to its intended recipient, the `secretCode` is revealed, which allows all the participants to create a `secretHash` and unlock the whole network of payments: after the `secretCode` has been revealed, Alice can claim the funds 24 hours after the transaction is put on the Bitcoin network. The key to this is the `secretHash`, which is what allows a transaction to span the network. Each of several transactions is locked with the `secretHash`, allowing a transmission between two otherwise unconnected people on the Lightning network. When the transaction has spanned from its originator to its intended recipient, the `secretCode` is revealed, which allows all the participants to create a `secretHash` and unlock the whole network of payments: after the `secretCode` has been revealed, Alice can claim the funds 24 hours after the transaction is put on the Bitcoin network.
