Can also imagine other kinds of reconfiguration and evolution. If 90% of readers turn back 1 page on page 145 to 144, it means there’s a possible sequencing or reinforcement inefficiency there that could be fixed.

Has anyone ever invented a dynamic self-hyperlinking type of text? Basically a text that is aware of words/phrases people are googling as they read, and adding the hyperlinks or parenthetical explanations as it gets more read. Like the social highlighting on kindle.

Example: I don’t recognize character who suddenly plays an important role on page 145 so I have to go back and find page 48 where he first appeared. Book recognizes that and adds a couple of reinforcing mentions in between so his sudden importance on page 145 is not disorienting.

This is related to the "paving the cowpaths". Very nice idea. However, the UX needs to be developed delicately so it doesn't corrupt the reading experience itself.
