Anything can be an interface, as long as it is in between and as everything is in between, everything is an interface. Interfaces create affordances or possibilities for action. They affect our perception and cognition. How can the interfaces with such transformative potential be designed? Moreover, if interface create a set of actions, what if we go beyond the notion of interfaces and think in terms of the protocols? Not the kind of protocols that say to do this and not to do that. The kind of protocols that transcend reality, that lie in the realm of practices, such as meditation, artistic practices, version-control systems, BitCoin, chaotic itinerancy, and other polysingular approaches.
How text network analysis can be used for website SEO. We use an example of a travel guide website to find out what people are searching for in relation to travel, what they actually find, and how well the travel guide website studied responds to the needs of the users. We also explore the idea of content polysingularity ensuring that information offered within the website does not only fulfil the readers’ needs, but also helps them learn more and discover new perspectives about the topics they’re interested in.
