something massive — thousands of ‘pages’
(pages can be any size — books are limited — they can have fold outs and different page layouts — but the size in constrained — bound) —
digital pages can be any size — page one can be a single paragraph and the next page spread out over a space equivalent to several screens — a page that has to be scrolled because it can’t be seen all at once — (mechanism i used in storyspace where the scroll window allowed two separate ‘blocks’ along with the intermediate scroll — i could size the window to do that

take things out of context — house designs — list etc — things found in books — found papers — paintings scans etc —
