A link station is a collection of pointers to meme nodes of a particular type. Ideally each meme node would feature both characteristics for every block of information it serves out. Ideally, K would have this information divided into distinct meme nodes, and link from each meme node to all related meme nodes on the net - or even better, only to the related meme nodes judged worthy of attention. In this way, K's meme nodes have become functioning elements of the lattice - components of the information system that is the Web. On the Web, there is no active distribution.
Users surf freely among meme nodes which hang suspended in the unified information space.
As a user gathers information, strands of meme nodes self-organize along trajectories of specific interest. For example, a user enters the Web seeking information on Photoshop filters. She might start at the Adobe meme node for information on Photoshop, then travel to Wired magazine to read an article about two guys who create Photoshop filters for a living, to MacWorld to pick up some practical tips on using filters, to Bob's Page where Bob has posted a bunch of backgrounds he made using Kai's Power Tools, to the Kai's Power Tool site where she orders KPT 2.0, and then off to comp.graphics.apps.photoshop on Usenet where she shares information she has gathered with other Photoshop geeks. This process exposes the user to a much wider array of information than in the contemporary media environment, but every block of information encountered along the trajectory is in some way related to the user's information wants and needs. In this way, the Web is a filtered information space.
