Figure 2: The lake (a, b & c).
In the lake (Figure 2) each of the elements, no matter how disparate in flavour or separated by distance, are each in connection with all the other elements at once. One can see this as a diffuse, less focused field of seeing in which more than the obvious is present. When "i" moves into the lake (a) "i" is close to "a holden motor car" the colour "blue" and a cup or a smell of coffee. A person and a tree are further away but still connected, likewise 'A' and "64". Move "i" to another location (b) and while "i" moves out of strong connection with the holden towards a sneeze, there in no disconnection with any of the other nodes. If the users attention changes from "i" to "64" (c) then a different clustering of influence and proximity and affinity is discovered. All the while the user is alert to the peripheral. Flows between information can remain at the same intensity each way. Each link will take the user along paths of typical connection, but there remains more opportunity for the personally useful trajectory through the information on the site.
