Set of nodes

Just as the pitches of a musical passage can be altered without affecting its rhythm, a set of nodes in a hypertext can be subject to a variety of different orderings while always maintaining the same large-scale temporal pattern.

For example, many hypertexts are designed in such a way that the reader will encounter in succession the fragments of different narrative threads. This may create a regular sequence of rhythmic periods articulated every few nodes by the move from one thread to another, regardless of the exact order in which fragments are encountered.
