Bernstein's patterns, for instance, pay little attention to link source in the determination of syntagmatic series. However it is clear that link source plays a fundamental role to the context of any particular pattern.
For example Joyce's cycle could as easily describe the experience of using the Internet Movie Database, as Afternoon: a story, yet clearly in each case the effect of the cycle is radically different. Similarly a tangle could describe Simpson's Memex project, parts of Amerika's Grammatron, or Miles' 1996 Hyperweb, yet each are fundamentally different hypertexts.
