For this reason, each 'page' or node includes a certain amount of recursivity since, unlike traditional scholarly argument in which each concept or idea builds upon the one before, the 'pages' of this text must, to a certain extent, be able to stand on their own. While it is true that a conventional book's pages may be accessed in any order at the reader's whim, the expectation is that the ordering is deliberate, usually hierarchical, and always dictated by the author. Indeed, surrendering some of this control can be quite disarming for a scholar and I am no exception. A partial remedy to this discomfort comes in constructing a rationale such as this one, for by disclosing the justification for authoring choices, I attempt to situate my work in the larger conversation of the production of knowledge and academic argument.
