Ted Nelson demonstrates Xanadu Space

• why imitate paper?
• parenthesis and footnotes as ideas escaping
• multi-threaded, tangential paths
• serial progression, imposing a chronology
• deep linkage, marginal notes
• new medium as expansion, parallelism
• history as parallel narrative
• the origins of content
• andy matuschak peripheral notes
• now peripheral media, peripheral experience
• transclusion, same content in two places, not represented by two structures
• can only click one link at a time, local graphs, many tabs open
• find the original context if any soundbite or shot
• ‘literature as it always should’ve been’
• ‘simultaneously the reader and writer’
• ‘windowed’ style privileges fragmentation, indeterminacy, variation, emphasises process rather than finished/ complete object
