<condense/dilute/refresh wordage and imagery meanings/established codes/cues

<Hypertexting has pow!er, and a reader can n-gage this through x-tremely

<presented,  and does not have access to s-tablished lingual and pictorial 
<threads planned out and ready to be spoon/key fed, imagine the result! 
<Confusion, granted, but if an int.ACTa can draw some webthread, or nuance,
