hypothetical herrings.
What if all hypotheticals were red herrings.
All hypothesis were misleading.
Are hypothesi plans that can be tested?
Chrissy says "yes." But what if they are not valid unless tested.
I think I may have to beta some different policies and see what makes me happier.

why I don't write hyper-fiction
Why I Don't Write HyperFiction by clyde
I don't write hyperfiction because it would quickly turn into hypernonfiction. I don't write hyperfiction. I just don't. I might think about it once in a while; how awesome it would be to write a hyperfiction story; where I could just go in every once in a while and read it and be like "you know, I would like the characters to do an option that is not presently written, and so i will add another link" and then I would add a link and create a few options for each moment and I would never go back to fix the broken links and I would call upon the people who read my hyperfiction (but no one does, unless it's a brief favor to myself) to go ahead and fill in some of the possibilities. When they do i would read it and say to myself 'no, no, no, they don't understand the setting or the characters or the consistent logic which is in my mind, but I will leave their entry because personal relationships and the feeling of capability and artistic creativity of others is far more important than my peculiar egoism that necessitates an algorithm that i can not formulate enough to communicate to anyone else, but i can claim the algorithm exists long enough to imply that they are doing something wrong. i don't write hyperfiction because i would end up depending on the contributions of others and then belittling their contributions with baseless territorial urges.
I don't write hyperfiction because i'm fickle. As soon as I get enough motivation to start writing hyperfiction, I type in some search terms and shop for programs that would meet my hyperfiction needs, and are free. Then I would download it, install it, get to know the interface by typing a few words, making a few links that terminate at place-holders and become exhausted. I don't write hyperfiction because I lack the discpline or motivation to ever touch, read, or refine that story again. I would wait a few years, until I think to myself, "wouldn't it be great to write some hyperfiction" and then I would search for some hyperfiction program because long ago I deleted the other one, or I completely forgot that I installed it on my machine.
I don't write hyperfiction because if I REALLY wanted to write hyperfiction, I would be able to write the story in my sketchbook using an ingenious format of signal-flow that would increase the likelihood of self-reference (modeled on the aesthetic magnetism of platonic solids). I would spend a lot of thought on whether I should use convenient colored markers or low-opacity watercolors to create a color-coded network of connections between interlinking causalities and I would at some point go "whoa" when I notice a truth in the way I tend to link certain types of things to certain other types of things and I would lament my inability to communicate that moment of insight with this hyperfiction medium because in order to understand it, one must do it themselves (without the the knowledge that I am intending them to do so). I don't write hyperfiction because I have a hard enough time communicating an instance of insight linearly.
