It was just a quote. Obviously it helps to read it all. :o) Cinema is non-linear before you decide on the edit as well. And when hypertext is read it too become linear (you choose one path out of a group of possibles). The difference is that there is one central person doing the edit in cinema whereas in hypertext the edit is performed individually with each reading. The point is that in cinema is that the in-between clips is part of the meaning and the same in true in hypertext (with the reader creating the in-betweens, making a huge change).
