PC-Hypertext: 5 Assembly Steps

There were five basic steps involved in converting the printed
information resources pertaining to masonry into an electronic
hypertext system using the MaxThink software:

The user's comprehension of the information structure is a
fundamental objective of the hypertext concept.  Inherent in that
objective is the underlying principle of associative linking
first articulated by Vannevar Bush in his description of an
information system modeled on the associative thought processes
of the human brain.  If the system successfully replicates the
associative structure of both the individual and the collective
memory of the user group, (mimics the way group members think as
they review, discard, and select the information contained in the
system), the system will possess the necessary degree of
coherence, and enable the individual users to assimilate the
knowledge base that constitutes the system.  (Understanding the
structure of knowledge is the means by which that knowledge is
gained.)
