Unlike a traditional edition, a HyperText is not organized to focus attention on one particular text or set of texts.
It is ordered to disperse attention as broadly as possible. Of course it is true that every particular HyperText at any particular point in time will have established preferred sets of arrangements and orderings, and these could be less, or more, decentralized. The point is that the HyperText, unlike the book, encourages greater decentralization of design. HyperText provides the means for establishing an indefinite number of "centers", and for expanding their number as well as altering their relationships.
One is encouraged not so much to find as to make order -- and then to make it again and again, as established orderings expose their limits.
