At a certain point in its history the web had become all one sided coins.
The word become indicates the existence of a trend. The trend towards a Web of one sided coins reversed at the end of 2016 with the publication of Tom Sunderland's Web Theory.
Mr. Sunderland was the first person to point out that the coin postulate applied to the web. The coin postulate is: there are two sides to every coin.
It follows that a coin with only one side is not a real coin.
It is debated, today, whether the trend towards one sided coins on the web was an accident or a conspiracy. This, however, is a misunderstanding, because accident and conspiracy are two sides of one coin. By definition trends reverse. It is only possible to look at one side of a coin. To look at the other side of a coin we must perform an action called flipping.
The trend towards one sided coin on the web was centrally embodied in Mr. Tim Berners Lee's Semantic Web Hypothesis, which stated that the web was becoming ever more semantic. By using the expression ever more, Mr. Berners Lee asserted that this trend would never reverse, and that the semantic web was the tendency that defined the web. It was necessary to flip the coin to see that the web was an information construct, and that semantics is a function of information, just as much as information is a function of semantics. Trends emerge from the physics of a medium, and they reverse when a breaking point is reached.
