Description Joshua Wulf 2011-05-12 09:53:37 UTC 
The inspiration for the design is the Talmudic page.

ref: http://people.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/TalmudL.GIF

The topic sits in the center. View traversal links are above and below, navigation links are to the side.

We will use X / Y positioning as a visual cue to the function of the link class.

<bforte> Jokes aside, I’ve long been a proponent of the Talmud as instructional design. To quote myself from an unfinished essay | article | blog post | something:
<bforte> The Talmud page as an organisational and structural element is a compelling argument for the limited canvas as a key element in information design. The human capacity to connect bits of information is limited, especially if some of those bits are moved out of sight. To sustain deep and wide information connections, put these bits into a single information space that can be comprehended as a single object.
<bforte> The Talmud page may be a consequence of technological limitation (although that’s not necessarily the case: the Talmud dates to when books and scrolls were in competition, making it likely they chose the page deliberately) but it’s still a brilliant use of a deliberately limited canvas to make complex arguments and dense information readily apprehended.


My note: scroll = screen
