Espen J. Aarseth > Cybertext - Perspectives on Ergodic Literature
Define Ergodic : Of or related to certain systems that, given enough time, will eventually return to previously experienced state; Of or relating to a process in which every sequence or sample of sufficient size is equally representative of the whole.
- "By naming none I hope to include all"
- Ergodic literature takes effort to traverse the text, given the extranoematic responsibilities of the reader, added to the eye movement and page turning process, which could characterize non-ergodic literature.
- "Cybertext focuses on the mechanical organization of the text"
