I got to thinking about all of this, and, even though it was just happenstance it was this morning, I had that place for all of it ... and I'm pretty sure now I know where it all is.
I've strayed from the instantaneous view dictum quite a bit, here. The use of scrolling, in page design, is quite a hard thing to not do. It's so automatic. It's the bane of clarity ... but ... maybe, if it's really hard to avoid, it's not good to be too dogmatic about it. After all, a little scrolling just kind of gives you a little freedom. It's like a kind of lovely padding that softens the whole experience. Go with what you've got. But I want to retain this as an open question: are there tricks we could use to eliminate scrolling all together (when we wanted to).
And if I know where it is, I know I can get to it, and get to it any time I like ... from my home page.
It's more evidence that Blogger has allowed me to place one link on all of my pages. It does that for me. That's the link to my home page, so I can always go there instantaneously. (From my home page, go to My Book, and from there you can get to Crazy Days.)
I could add more of those links that appear on every page ... but ... more is less. If I can keep it to just one, so much the better.
It's evidence because it shows that this facility, the ability to return you from any page to one page from which all pages can be navigated to, is something fundamental. It's fundamental to trees, which are fundamental to information, which is fundamental to computing.
This evidence suggests the tree is fundamental because the facility is already built into the system for posting thoughts, Blogger.
