Two major distinctive features: primacy of units and interplanarity
the Balzan project
–> cyb-mes.net
a new approach to websites
–> domains
–> project history

as a system of interconnected websites
that replace the printed text not as a technical change, but as a conceptual system
here, not the theory, but some examples
