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.
