Face Libre: More Lines of Computer Code


This is a note about a new format for search engine front pages, and perhaps for a new social media page appearance-a Face Libre’ perhaps.

The concept may have been already used-I haven’t taken a programming class in decades so this is jut an outline for an idea rather than lines of code. I was reading in a book called ‘Semiotics & The Philosophy of Language’ recently, and the idea of words as simply signs given meaning circumstantially made me think of code for a new web page appearance.

One expects new wage page improvements routinely, and I have seen the standard format with plain hypertext link and print-even with pictures moving in, for some years. With signs or symbols simply as numbers shaped around entry like doors it might be possible to design a near 3-d like expanding entry port with visual content surrounded with alternate pathways or different content. Logging on to that search engine would create more experience of a visual nature (or audio too if one desired) in addition to text.

The idea of recursion is simple enough to program with the appearance of depth perspective thrown in, yet all around the hallway of portions of views-made with signs that are abbreviated content appearances yielding to branching and recovery signed structures, would be that imagery of live alternative courses to take-not a game but an intentional way of perusing through the subjects of a very complex Library.

If it would not be the Library of Babel exactly-with far more abridgments of content, it would a logical structure simple to navigate. Maybe one could ask the program for directions to content areas if lost. The difference is that one would search for oneself and browse too by subject matter instead of asking Google or Lycos to retrieve data addresses.
