5. linear paths
Physics:
Newtonian – like lasagne
one moment follows another, like layers
Einstein’s (relativity) – like spaghetti
each with our own linear paths
… that occasionally intersect
Hypermedia?
we all experience the world linearly
but we can have alternative paths through it

6. Best of both worlds?
I briefly mentioned Nick Hammond and Lesley Allinson’s bus tours …
Travel around a learning support environment: rambling, orienteering or touring?

8. deconstructing the academic paper
in one place?
• all in a single paper – why?
• knowledge like bricks or mycelia
• Ted Nelson – transclusion
medium?
• not just text … interactive?
purpose?
• empirical results (numbers, graphs, quotes)
• creations: ideas, concepts, designs – describe or demo?
• arguments and evidence – text/graphical …
• literature – does it really need to be repeated every time?
• motivation and impact (design implications!)
… perfect for video envisionments and comic-books
