Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q1 i? Nelson's hypertextuality is intertextuality reimagined for a computerized world, extending the logic of intertextuality through digitalization and anticipating network learning. → Dennis 2020

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
Conceptual analysis citing Orr (2003): Nelson's hypertext — non-sequential, multidimensional blocks of text with branches and links — carries intertextuality into digital media. The article presents this as the point where connectivism emerges in architectonic thought, supported by textual-philosophical argument rather than data.
"Orr (2003) wrote, "hypertext merely develops the status of 'text' that is intertextuality's motor through digitalization" (p. 50). Hypertextuality is intertextuality reimagined for a world that rationalizes itself through computers and the vast networks that they allow."
