Tribble, D., Miller, M., Pergamit, G., Stiegler, M., King, R., Hill, E., Strandberg, J., & Gregory, R. (1988). Philosophy and Motivation from Udanax Febe Green Protocol. Updated for WWW 1999. http://udanax.com/green/febe /philosophy.html.

Chapter from a software manual. Provides some insight into the driving philosophy and motivation behind the development of the Udanax Green software suite. Green is a partial implementation of Xanada, Ted Nelson's ideal full_hypertext system. "The basis of Udanax hypertext's design is that information is complex, and all information is embedded in a context that gives it meaning. The common misconception is that things are meangingful by themselves, i.e., that a word has an atomic definition or that documents are self-contained bodies of meaning. Instead, meaning requires a topology of relationships. Words and documents gain their full meaning because of their relationships to other words, documents, ideas and circumnstances."
