A quote for Kristen and Mary's project

From the article Laure summarized:

". . . the reader is no longer simply spectator . . . but co-author of what he reads, a second write and active partner. He can enter *into* the landscape of meaning and modify its architecture as he wishes. Once monologue, the text becomes dialogue . . . It is no longer a static invariant, a road traveled in a given direction, recorded once and for all. Rather, it is a moving mosaic [. . .], an unpredictable sequence of bifurcation, a non hierarchical unpredetermined crossroads where each reader can invent his own course along a network of communication nodes . . ." Regis Debray *The Book as Symbolic Object*

Sounds like a possible leaping-off point!
