[tw5] Re: "non-linear personal web notebook" or "non-linear platform"

[h0p3]

Non-linearity means you don't have have to get it exactly right the first 
time because you can execute construction out of order with TW. It enables 
you to handle the mistakes you couldn't have known were mistakes until you 
got to the other side; it allows you to build what you didn't even realize 
you wanted to build in the beginning. Its non-linearity might just be its 
low-friction flexible syntactic and semantic hackability; it is the Unix 
philosophy's principles incarnate once again. TW's non-linearity is a 
doorway to harnessing the ergodic beauty of hypertext. TW's non-linearity 
gives rise to evolving contexts, perspectives, and rhizomes; it means your 
work in TW can transcend itself again and again. 

Make way for the panacea of hypertext! Our savior is here! Make a joyful 
noise! Shout from the rooftops! Rejoice!

How about "post Hierarchical" ? Kind of poetic and techy.

S S,

I consider as permitting you to structure and store your information in 
anyway you wish not only in a *linear manner*. 

Its use is in someways more poetic than a technical description, However it 
caught my eye more than a decade ago, because it was proposing a truly open 
solution.

Some would say a text document from top to bottom is linear, or a 
hierarchical note pad fixed within the hierarchical model, but non-linear 
suggests to me these are possible, but so much more is possible.

Regards
Tony
