The criticism on spatial/temporal forms in literature is large. Murray Krieger, in Ekphrasis, The Illusion of the Natural Sign (Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, 1992) surveys this history. See also, Paul De Man, Blindness and Insight: Essays in the Rhetoric of Contemporary Criticism, "The Rhetoric of Temporality" (University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis, 1985).

I use the word "versioning" cautiously. Technical ideas, viewed from another perspective, can suggest creative solutions. In arranging the time narratives, I was influenced by Anja Haake and David Hicks' work, "VerSE: Towards Hypertext Versioning Styles" (Hypertext 96 Proceedings, ACM, New York, 1996).
