The process of textual aging is a significant structural factor in literary hypertext.
A link back to text that was visited just a few nodes ago is qualitatively very different from a link to text that originally appeared far back in the reading.

Aging information could help the reader make more-intelligent link choices and it could influence when conditional links are displayed in a particular node. When a choice must be made between two previously visited nodes, the one that has aged the most could be given preference. (Robert Kendall) -
