Database and Symbolic Form
What I think this essay is saying is that everything we use is basically a database or data structures with specific set of rules or algorithms that have a connection with unlimited information and knowledge. Everything is connected and it is up to the user to where it navigates although that it is already a set of rules but no set of navifation. Comparing it to a narrative is a bit crazy though because its already a set of things planned out initially but just isn't in a particular order.
Death of an Arthur
How I took this reading is that everytime you read or interpret someone writings, artworks, or anything that someone has created you look at it in their perspective, the view and you take in consideration of their meaning but when an arthur dies it opens up many ways to view it and you could look at it in your own way. Its like going to a museum and seeing a piece that you are really interested in and trying to figure out its meaning or trying to interpret the work in your own way of doing things without reading the artist/ art description but the artist isnt necessarily dead.
