Hypertext syntagmas: cinematic narration with links
bernstein.a

Hypertext structure does not reside exclusively in the topology of links nor in the language of individual nodes, and so we must work toward a pattern language through both topological and rhetorical observation. Instances of these patterns typically range in scope froma handful of nodes and links to a few hundred. These patterns . . . are components observed within hypertexts, rather than system facilities . . . or plans of a complete work. Typical hypertexts contain instances of many different patterns, and often a single node or link may participate in several intersecting structures. (Bernstein, p. 21. )
