right now, one view of the [collaborative/dynamic] shape of 
criticalartware can be seen in the nodemap:

http://www.criticalartware.net/lib/liken/interfaces/nodemap/

"Nodemap is a demo to show how you can use LikML to reinterpret the 
relationships on liken . In this case, it's a semi-interactive global 
view of the linkages." - bensyverson (coreDeveloper of 
criticalartware, creator of liken + developer of Nodemap)

Nodemap utilizes our publicly-accessible XML file (which describes 
the [pathways/relationships] of liken). we determined early in the 
development of liken that we would find ways to [invite/encourage] 
[alternate/critical] [interpretations/visualizations] of liken's 
[pathways/relationships] + thereby of criticalartware itself. these 
[interpretations/visualizations] could function along any coordinates 
of the developers' choosing, such as skinning the application or 
hosting a detourned version of the platform.

when we developed liken, the new substructure of criticalartware, 
bensyverson took the Wiki concept + built a different approach called 
Likis. ben improved upon the Wiki concept w/Likis by creating a more 
automagical system for authoring [links/paths] through the growing 
network of shared resources that are available [in/on] 
criticalartware.

"So what is a Liki ? Likis are kind of like wikis; anyone can edit 
them, and they are highly interlinked with each other. Likis are 
different than Wiki s in that you don't have to use BumpyCaps to make 
a link -- if you write ' cybernetics is k-rad' in a Liki , it will 
automagically link to the cybernetics liki .
Why is that important? Because it means you don't have to consciously 
make links! You can just write, and the links will appear. "
...
"Furthermore, although only an editable document in Liken is called a 
Liki , any normal non-editable comment that you make on a node will 
be ' likified;' its text will automatically link up to likis." -

author of likis)

"liken stores criticalartware's growing database of information, 
resources + discourse as a collection of self-connecting nodes that 
anyone can add to [+/or] comment on. the pathways connecting these 
nodes slowly change based on use; more popular paths grow stronger, 
while weaker paths fade away. these relationships are also described 
in a public XML file, making it possible for anyone to develop 
alternate [interfaces/interpretations] of liken's unique + 
ever-changing content + structure.
the paths that liken users follow can be [stored/reviewed/discussed], 
+ affect the structure of the [application/platform] itself, creating 
a [literal/cybernetic] feedback loop in which less-used paths wither 
away, well-used paths are strengthened, + entirely new paths grow + 
crisscross recursively in response to discussion + new resources."

we are very excited about being able to release liken, after the past 
2 yrs of development + planning. for those empyreans who are 
[interested/activated] by these 
[potentialities/concepts/communities/discourses] please feel welcomed 
to create a login + begin [contributing to/shaping] the shared
