> It matters what matters we use to think other matters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with; it matters what knots knot knots, what thoughts think thoughts, what descriptions describe descriptions, what ties tie ties. It matters what stories make worlds, what worlds make stories.
i mean mostly to set aside (not to say, “forget”) hypertext theory. that gemtext is hypertext is hard to ignore. there is enough provision for linking that spatial metaphors have salience. it's possible to build forking paths and the reader's orientation among them, mediated by the client, matters.
but hypertext has a history. the memex is—explicitly—a machine of war.
the style (or technique) i want to develop seeks to put the matter of “thinking with” at the forefront. i shy away from calling it a method since the methodology is self-consciously exploratory and emergent, borne out of thinking carefully about thinking fabulously. rejecting 〈ethical citation practices〉, pointedly embracing 〈questionable〉ones as a matter of style, enables selective memory about the paths we were told to follow.
this is a restructuring of intellectual debt.
i want to play in the mud of plagiarism so that some paths become obscured by the wallow, and to leave my hands dirty. in some sense, i'm more interested in appropriation than citation.
other ties i want to tie thoroughly. here, there's an element of aide-memoire; of marking new paths. but this is not a zettelkasten. the thing i want to /do/ with writing and citing in gemspace is to build new discursive infrastructures that, when reproduced, make new alliances. at least for myself. again it's appropriation, inflected differently this time, i'm trying to achieve.
