Both the frequency and the length of reencounters with text during a reading can establish rhythmic patterns.
This is particularly noticeable as the middle reading gives way to the end reading in a hypertext. The progressively increasing recurrence creates a rallentando effect as new material is less and less frequently encountered. If the reader skims quickly over old material to reach the new, the skimming process can serve to articulate very strongly the nodes that are actually read carefully. The effect can be of a rather too ponderous rhythm. (Robert Kendall)
