STORYSPACE: Compartments of the Mind
I know I’ve said it here before; hypertext appears to me to resemble the cognitive process. The chain of events that are sparked by a word is a recall of experience based on memories–allowing for perception–and often wanders off the trail to be so far removed from "three links back" that we find ourselves within a familiar but seemingly unrelated space.
In attempting to comprehend the effect of Alzheimers from the inside workings of such a mind afflicted, I wonder if we can see a pattern, trace a word-to-word progression of a thought.
Fascinating. Terrifying too.
