Hope A Olson's text on spatial metaphors in classification systems brings up several thoughts:

How to utilise a "paradoxical space"? The text seems to suggest focusing on connections, relationships between subjects rather than differences? What could an associative classification system look like?

Is the space of a page a suitable spatial dimension to explore in thinking about how to spatially represent dynamic, on-the-fly classification systems?
