Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Link paths in Storyspace are created and controlled by authors from a dedicated Path Builder tool. Michael Joyce used paths firstly as a lexia management tool that would help the author and the reader orientate among the multiple narrative sequences. For example, in afternoon, a story a path named “Lolly(call)” gathers connections related to Peter’s attempt to call Lolly. “Lolly(later)”, respectively, groups connections to events after the call.
On the illustration above, a path "Lolly" is highlighted and all 17 lexias asigned to it are displayed.
This page has paths:
