The Gaudí view tessellates the idea plane, exploring an approach to presenting a greater number of notes on the screen, at the cost of restricting the fixity of the visualization: you can move notes, but notes can move themselves.

Its goal was not to be good, but rather to be exciting-to make an argument that hypertext can be coherent, consistent, and possibly fun. These are some notes of what I learned from the effort.

For the free anion, obtained by electrolytic reduction in dimethylformamide or potassium reduction in hexamethylphosphoramide, the trans/cis ratio is dependent on solvent but independent of temperature. At low temperatures the spectra obtained from potassium reduction in ether solvents are characteristic of locked unsymmetrical ion pairs. Linewidth alternation owing to intramolecular cation exchange occurs at higher temperatures and the rate of this process has been measured. The trans/cis ratio and the proton hyperfine coupling constants are temperature dependent in the ion pairs and have also been characterised. Qualitative results for ion pairs with lithium, sodium and caesium are reported.

This intimate or nobitic information includes not merely calendars and grocery lists, but also work for planning our future endeavors, as well as correspondence to our future selves and our progeny. Tinderbox is a tool for making, analyzing, and sharing notes-offers a range of representational tools ranging from conventional links and WikiLinks to prototype inheritance and spatial hypertext. People exploit this complex tool set to help discover and express the structure of everyday ideas; of particular interest is the problem of creating structure for work that has not yet been written and that will evolve in unexpected directions. The history of constructive hypertext and the success of early wikis provides invaluable guidance for structuring nobitic writing tools.

From examination of actual spatial hypertexts drawn from a variety of domains and created in a variety of systems, we may identify and name several common patterns.

One crucial anxiety is that we be able to find (and to publish) good work of local or specific importance, since much human knowledge is not popular. Small, low-traffic sites are thus of considerable interest to the health of the Web, though individually these sites possess small economic leverage. The challenge these sites face is increased by the noisiness of web traffic; herds, flocks, and cadres of narrative-driven fans can all increase traffic one day and eliminate it another. For large sites, this poses no problem, but for smaller sites this granularity, combined with the zero lower bound, can have catastrophic consequences both for individual publications and for the overall shape of the Web.

In this paper we explore how themes could be used to enrich automatically generated narratives, and describe how a system which generated story selections in the form of photo montages was developed using a thematic model of narrative. This was achieved by selecting narrative atoms, in this case photographs, from ...
