Networked vs. Linear

In a networked piece the importance is developed and created by the reader. There is no time line of events and specific map to be followed to create one overall meaning of the piece. The meaning or meanings are developed by the reader who therefore becomes the creator. Each piece is separate from the overall meaning and important in owns context to be able to develop an overall meaning of the whole. A linear piece can hold separate parts and each is connected in an obvious manner of some kind lending itself to the overall story. The cause and effect are eventually and easily identifiable leading to the predictable resolution.
