       | Intriguing example with the shoemaker story, but initially

       | The trick with the cursor suggests: what if the context was
       | ambient, like a graph of concept bubbles around whatever
       | paragraph has focus? Or, a step further, as if the paragraph was
       | a card in an array of cards swiped across a desk in "is this your
       | card?" style, with fisheye focus on paragraph text, past and
       | future paragraphs as cards to left and right of this one, with
       | summarized concepts bracketing those from above and below?
       | 
       | In any case, this is onto something, and worth experimenting with
       | various UIs.

       | handsome solution.
