5. As a result, the spectator is forced to acknowledge that the use of the
computer is based on a genealogy of conventions, while in reality the

preprogrammed patterns. In this way, a distributed awareness of a
new interaction gestalt can take form.

8. The Glitch
Let them say more that like of heare-say well,
I will not prayse that purpose not to sell. (21.13-14)

And therefore [thou] art inforc¡¯d to seeke anew,
Some fresher stampe of the time bettering dayes. (82.7-8)
I think good thoughts, whilst others write good wordes. (85.5)
