Several papers have already been published , and the hierarchical organization of the conceptual network should make it relatively easy to take out parts or the whole and publish them as a book, paper or report. In a hypertext system this is almost trivial. Just make a link to a node with a historical review or a list of publications. The actual lists of publications and historical overviews are virtually non-existent though. The Principia Cybernetica Web can be read in many different orders, and readers can go in depth, or remain more on the surface while still getting a basic picture.
More work needs to be done to fill in all the different levels, though.
WWW now allows both reading of text and entering of new text through annotation . To allow the representation and utilization of knowledge in both its breadth and its depth. Representation in breadth and depth is certainly supported, but the rest is rather vague. If the number of people consulting the Web is a measure, it is certainly not being ignored, though one can doubt whether much is retained by the readers. Our system is definitely not complete, though its reach is quite broad, and few fundamental issues are left untouched.
