A navigable mind
Why this site is shaped like a graph — and what it would mean to read someone's work the way you read a city.
Most personal sites are autobiographies told as lists. The reader walks the list in the order the author wrote it, which is almost never the order the ideas relate.
A navigable mind is a different artifact. The unit isn't the page; it's the connection between pages. You walk in along whatever node the search engine put in front of you, and the structure of the surrounding work is visible from where you stand. You can see what this thing influences, what it argues with, what it grew out of.
The bet is that this is a better way to find out whether you want to keep reading — and a better way for me to understand what I've actually been arguing across ten years of fragments.
