Xanadu Concepts Finale [Transcription of Video]
Nelson: The real point is to empower you to say more than you could before. So, in this vocabulary that I am attempting to foist on you, we have transclusion, which is the virtual instance across a boundary with the original identity maintained and original context available, so its not just instancing. In instancing, you can't compare context. The whole point is to be able to reuse and compare context. Transvisibility means that you can see from one transcluded instance to another. Transpointing, as we said, allow you to see across window boundaries explicitly. Transparallel media is the generalization of transpointing windows. Things you look at together whose specific connections are of interest. Transpublishing is the virtual republishing by the distribution of pointers where the material is obtained from the originator or the originator's agent. Transcopyright, then, is the permission doctrine that is required to make this whole thing squeaky clean.
