Architext

A prototype of a text editor that generates a multi-relational map and a timeline according to the text input. Architext allows people to construct non-sequential text structures by applying a syntax based on Markdown. It was created for an experiment that involved testing to what extent constructing different visual renditions of content can facilitate text comprehension.

Using the social contract theory as sample content, the video below demonstrates one potential way of organizing information in Architext.
