Ditto with hypertext, it is clear that we understand links because we understand the hypertext, this is one of the reasons why attempts to define hypertext structure by prejudging link types is extremely problematic. Link interpretation is not only contextually and pragmatically determined, but always operates in the larger context of enveloping interpretive schemas. These larger schemas will over ride any 'local' determination of a link (by the text, author, or system).
