Hypertext syntagmas: cinematic narration with links
outside

As with my comments on irony and link type, these categories emphasise their role as commentary on another piece of writing, yet as a writing practice (and a writing system, that is hypertext as a system of writing rather than as a computer system) what might it be to write in the first instance utilising these link types? It's a bit like these rather scathing and pointed link types are only put in service of commenting on something else, yet the power of our writing, the authority derived from writing, is not only in labelling but in being boring as we criticise boredom . . .
