A reader-generated essay is a reader’s experience as they navigate through an author’s curated knowledge graph. It’s similar to following links through Wikipedia, except the content is dynamically generated in real-time. This presents one continuous exploratory essay that unfolds as it’s read, adapting to the reader’s chosen path through the author’s collected knowledge.

Like closure in comics, meaning emerges in the gaps—between linked notes, between traversals, in the reader’s active construction of understanding through hypertext exploration.
