04/24/2014 INTERTWINGLED: Ted Nelson, “What Box?”

I feel much better understood than I knew.

Eric and mother Deborah Stone.

School was a prison and imposition.  Religion is human creativity.

I became a project tornado (4 min)

All projects are alike, revising as you go.

The Rock Musical has been released as a CD.

2 Luminous Miscalculations

  1. Thought I would get a Hollywood contract
  2. Thought I would stay in Grad School, not appreciating the brutal character of Grad School

Not in early histories because my vision didn’t fit with ..

Had a vision by end of Grad School

Had thousands of cards, some of which are scanned by Stanford (14 min)

3. Redefine literature with hypertext: visible parallel connections (1961)

4. General Creative started

5. Search for leverage:

6.

7. By 30 will be rich enough to have hypertext transferred – all digital life

8. Moviemaking

9. Start what is pixar

Creative control is important, so must have low budget, getting traction without backers

Wanted to show the length of the document in the title (19 min)

If only I said “Parallel pages visibly connected”

I thought people got it and nobody did

Build a document out of pointers to an ever growing document

Bill Duval saw that it was more efficient (23 min)

Apple and Microsoft did not understand the PUI and cut corners.

I am a minimalist

I have 4 designs:

xanadu – correct and true design of literature

zigzag – hyperthoginal display of data

xanadu space is based on zigzag

zogol: allows a graphics engine, pivoting in multiple dimensions

merge concepts into one

UTMOS: ubstreerous ted’s multifarious operating system

What about intertwingularity – Hereclytus: (40 min)

I was dealt one of the best hands in history. (41 min)

I believe it would have been different if I had gotten backing.

That I did not learn computer programming is my great shame.
