As Morgan suspects, applying a set of a posteriori categories doesn't really tell us how links work, how people choose them or what to expect when writing hypertext. Equating hypertext with a presumed abnormality of literary discourse (its ability to accomodate incoherences) takes it to the realms of deviation, and very much resembles a certain formalist position: the "literariness" of a text is in the text itself, coded under the guise of figures of speech and other rhetorical devices. (Tosca, p. 77.)
