I understand Markku Eskelinen's project for an ergodic literature, partly derived from the theoretical premises established by Aarseth (1997), to be largely an exploration of the problem of deliberately unstable nodes and links. It is clear that the sorts of syntagmatic categories and possibilities established by an application of semiotics to hypertext are narrative sequences, but it is also obvious that if nodes and links have no permanence then the possibilities for describing possible structures becomes dramatically complex.
