Why text is significant? And how does a post use text in a novel way?

A text comprises of paragraphs; a paragraph comprises of sentences and sentences comprise of words. This sentence states the obvious. But we do this for a reason. Text operates at these three levels, like everything else. The micro and the macro operate together. That is the first chapter in the book of analysis of experience. But besides the fact that this micro-macro perspective applies to everything we can still apply it to text. And when we do that, we realise that writing is a craft and a strategy at the same time. That is not to say that craft is not strategic, but it is generally the case. The process of engaging in a craft is so integrated with the business of doing that it seems to be difficult to concoct a theory of craft that does not involve some kind of action. So one part of text is solely about typing. The tempo of typing out a text gradually through time is an essential part of writing. The other part of writing is about strategy in a way that the word does not automatically suggest. Strategy generally suggests a manipulative process of not being entirely transparent about one's intentions. But this is not the context in which we evoke the word here.

For us strategy means having a vision of how the text is intended to feel when it is complete. We might not know exactly what the text will read like, we might not even be aware of the composition of the ext in terms of the terrain it will cover. But generally most typists who write know what the text would feel like. Speaking for ourselves, it is the navigation system that we use to shape most of our texts.

If this sense-of-the-whole is the operative sense in writing and shaping a text, then which sense helps in shaping in the post?

Posts are fragments of text that might not have a specific strategy. It is not even needed. Once you decide to post for a strategic reason, the actual task of posting does not require a specific strategy. It only requires the syntax of a prior strategy to be applied. This application is a simple expression within a format. When even a five hundred word text requires a strategic vision for its completion, a hundred and forty word post requires only a adherence to format in terms of being disciplined about the compression of meaning and content within the given format.

Posts are packages that follow rules. Texts are scenarios that set out the rules. Rules need illustrations and illustrations need rules.

Posts can also thought to be arrays of rules - laid out in a succession, across time. Posts demand more from readers, for meaning (if any) is rendered in their memory. Memory of the reader should have the narrative span in order to accommodate a lengthy expanse of meaning. Posts will be recurrent. Through their recurrence, they will spin a yarn of meaning. Posts and texts are bound within a loop in this way. Texts lead to posts and posts get compiled as texts.
