| The small circle in the middle of Figure 2 is Figure 1. Shading is formed by links from one node to another. There are approximately 5,000 jumps in a scroll 1,000+ pages containing 700,000+ words. Aside from the spontaneous growth in our capacity for amazement, there are several observations we can make: |
| 1. There are too many things to keep track of. Human beings typically keep from five to nine things in short-term memory. This site has way more. |
| 2. It's improbable that anyone will understand the site's structure. Its 17 distinct areas cannot be seen simultaneously. |
| 3. It is too big, too fragmented, and too busy. |
| 4. Destination pages are equally busy, causing loss of context. |
| 5. There are so many words and links that it is impossible to make semantic connections. |
| There's no law 'n' order here. It's time fer a showdown! |
