Texts are sites for transformation.
That texts do not only signify inherently, but also in relation to other systems of meaning, to other texts and cultural norms, and that their aesthetic is inseparable from determinants exterior to linguistic properties, are the underlying notions of the metabolean Hypertext concerning Literature and Transformation.
Transformation means not only change, metamorphosis, and transfiguration, but also creation and that, as we read and compare texts, we add another dimension: the relationship between the text and ourselves, in other words, the transformation of the text by the individual reader.
