What is important for hypertext construction is that the "units" need not be single nodes; they can be gestures and movements themselves performed over a local group of nodes. Such local units cannot have closed forms.... Your forms will be local but porous. There will be places of local decision but without fixed local boundaries. There is always more hyperspace, always another dimension that can intersect any local form. (Kolb 22)

Kolb suggests a method for moderation through which composers both integrate themselves into hypertext and have some discursive tools at their command. His local units seem to be a good compromise, a way to achieve some of the continuity that the earlier hypertext critics were calling for and, at the same time, allow for interconnection.
