Intertwingularity

EVERYTHING IS DEEPLY INTERTWINGLED
Hierarchical and sequential structures, especially popular since Gutenberg, are usually forced and artificial. Intertwingularity is not generally acknowledged -- people keep pretending they can make things hierarchical, categorizable and sequential when they can't.
In an important sense there are no "subjects" at all; there is only all knowledge, since the cross connections among the myriad topics of this world simpy cannot be divided up neatly.
-- Nelson, Dream Machines (1987), p.31

Systems Humanists
“... [are] striving to further the ideals of the humanist perspective by the best available means.” Which means “finding the ways that human literature, art and thought — including science, of course — may best be facilitated, preserved, and disseminated.”
TECNOIDS:
"technical types" (Literary Machines, 1-11)
FLUFFIES:
“those with a humanistic background, in literature, history, the arts, etc” (Literary Machines, 1-11)
(Nelson, Literary Machines, 1-13)
