      » task: “To extrap­o­late from lit­er­acy to elec­tracy, we need to find some pop­u­lar behav­ior in our medi­ated expe­ri­ence that is as famil­iar to us as hav­ing a con­ver­sa­tion was to peo­ple in an oral appa­ra­tus.”
      — Ulmer, Inter­net Inven­tion p.143

      con­duc­tive logic? (infer­ence, “flash” of insight?)

      just as Plato invented the dia­logue as a hybrid with oral and lit­er­ate fea­tures,
      so too now is our con­sul­tancy a hybrid selected from oral, lit­er­ate, and elec­trate ele­ments.”
      — Ulmer, p.156
