PC-Hypertext: Structure

Step 5.  The idea nodes contained in the network were organized
into several hierarchies in order to accommodate a variety of
user perspectives and needs.  By providing alternative paths for
information retrieval, the system allows the user to make choices
that best suit the context of current information requirements. 
Choices are designed to be clear and unambiguous, and the
delineated paths are structured to indicate a sense of their
destination.  The intent is to infuse the system with a degree of
predictability which will, through repeated use, convey an
understanding of the comprehensive structure of the knowledge
system.
