Marking Texts of Many Dimensions

Abstract

Because traditional textual objects are coded for redundancy, standard digital simulations of traditional texts do not supply optimal models for their representation (their primary condition of interpretation). A proposal is made for a six-dimensional model that draws upon the work of Maturana and Varela with autopoietic systems and the work of René Thom with morphogenetic (catastrophic) forms. The model's advantage is not simply that it is dynamic and interoperable, but that its logs – the history of its uses – are fed back into its dimensional self-conception and hence its ongoing historical emergence.
