Multiple Layers of Hypertext...

My last post dealt with the confusion I felt going through the online system that was set up by Daniels.  I would like to continue on with that post by also discussing the idea of  how hypertexts are, intentional or not, part of a system that consists of multiple layers.
Landow writes, "As readers move through a web or network of texts, they continually shift the center - and hence the focus or organizing principle - of their investigation and experience," (Landow 36).  This idea of a constant shifting of focus further exemplified as Landow brings up Christ.  Throughout the Bible, multiple figures are associated with the coming of Christ and figures such as Moses, as mentioned by Landow, is associated with Christ because of his part in prophesying.  The constant shifting of centers throughout this historical/religious text gives light to how there are hypertexts within literary works such as these but also how there are multiple layers that are created with the idea of hypertexts.  A layer of hypertexts dealing with Moses and his associations are then put together with layers of hypertexts associated with other figures in the Bible.  As confusing as it sounds, the layers of hypertexts remain organized due to the associations being solid but can be open to changes.  The online system, "Public Secrets," in which the voice links to each testimony is also part of various layers in which the two sides are associated with other testimonies (life on the outside and life on the inside).  This entry might be confusing because of the complexity that comes along with Landow's "Hypertext and Critical Theory", but it's interesting to note how hypertext has been especially more common in today's society.
