Chris touched on his work, A Show of Hands, and gave us some of the feedback he&#8217;s gotten on the piece which led him to label the threads to give readers some sense of choice (color coding works along with titling works for this as well).&nbsp; Chris showed a method of using time as a method of plotting. <\/p>\n<p>A Show of Hands has a carefully planned structure of where the reader will be going. He has assigned a numerical value on distance to ensure that the reader&#8211;while maintaining choice&#8211;will be guided by the computer to the next most likely (closest) choice.<\/p>\n<p>Good stuff.&nbsp; Gonna finish reading what I started there and consider the theory behind the calculations as it might apply to Storyspace for example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"drop\">D<\/span>esigners of Literatronica (website listed in sidebar) these gentleman gave a background of the beginning of Literatronica.&nbsp; Empower the computer to become a part of the literary exchange to join the writer and reader.
