A map of cyberspace would look like millions of galaxies and a map of the traffic between sites would look like a photo of electromagnetic energy across the entire spectrum. A site such as Yahoo that links links is a kind of gravitational lens that boosts distant clusters into the foreground. If we could see ourselves interacting in cyberspace, we too would look like energy pouring through our monitors and moving at the speed of light toward densities around which our interests coalesce. Our monitors like worm holes let us bypass the long way around. Organizational structures, including web sites, are dissipative structures like whirlpools that retain their shape while exchanging energy and information.
Humans too are modular structures of energy and information that interface over the Internet.
That map of the energies of cyberspace is really a map of our Mind. Words slip, slide, decay with imprecision, T. S. Eliot said of his efforts to fix in poetic form the world he discerned. In the world of printed text, the illusion that words and meanings are fixed is magnified. The same words in pixels are obviously transitory. Our media too function like gravitational lenses, magnifying meanings intrinsic to their nature.
