Six tools should supply the reader with everything necessary for reading the hypertext. A Navigator would permit steering along x, y, & z axes, plus Next & Previous in sequence. A Locator Genie would combine a compass for surfing the hierarchy of writings with a progress bar to indicate how much has been completed. A Dock would permit storing a Writing for later viewing. A 2-View would allow the reader to compare any two texts. An Annotator would let the reader respond to the text. With a Link-maker the reader could make her own connections between writings.
