FLEXTEXT
The Flexible, Dynamic
and Distributive Textural Space
FleXtexT is an original software (part of the art installation),
which serves to create a flexible, dynamic and distributive
textural space, by using attractors and a new kind of
links based on the partially ordered sets .

 |
FLEXTEXT consist
of tools to access, edit, annotate, share, communicate
and perform flextextstreams.
FLEXTEXT support the collaborative text processes, by:
0. providing sofware that totally destroy knows forms
of text order
1. providing software which enables permanent movement
of texts [by using flexors]
2. providing software which enables the cooperative
knowledge exchange [by developing a new kind of hiperlinks
which create a consistent model for multiple types of
inference, including deduction, abduction, induction
and revision]
3. providing free tools to create new hyperchannels
for online communities |

2.1
Structure of document in FXT
(E, A, L)
Erector set: any sequence of elements
Attractor set: the elements which group and transform
erectors
The actions of this attractors operates in two directions:
1. it disrups and destroy the rigit horizontal, cartezian
format of text created in all the text editors
and net browsers.
2. It make order from this chaos by creating new and
unexpected sequence of characters.
Links set: see 2.2
Document in FXT is a set of erectors with ordered
set of attractors.

2.2 Hyperlinks
in FXT
In the program one can create hyperlinks with other
documents made by FXT and with other documents in
the web. Note that fxt kind of linking isn’t
a typical HTML linking, but a special, 2-way hyperlinking.
There are two types of hyperlinks:
1. hyperlinks over erectors (2-way hyperlinking attached
to any erector)
2. hyperlinks over attractors (special 2-way hyperlinking
attached to any attractor).
The central concept in hyperlink is the concept of
ordered set, which is a set equipped with a special
type of binary relation. Recall that abstractly a
binary relation on a set P is just a subset
R • PxP ={(p,q): p,q • P}. (p,q) •
R simply means that “p is related to q under
R”. Binary relation
R thus contains all the pairs of points that are related
to each other under R.
The relations of most interested to us are the order
relations.
An ordered set (or partially ordered set or poset)
is an ordered pair (P,<=) of set P and binary
relation <= contained in PxP, called the order
on P,
such that <= is reflexive, transitive, and antisymetric
