at the bottom of every node, the system displays up to 64 "soft links", though each node can store an unlimited number thereof. "guest users"—any viewers not logged in—can see 24, a logged-in user can see up to 48, and the senior administrators ("gods," though this term has fallen out of favour in recent years) can see up to 64. these are two-way links intended to approximate "thought processes," similar in concept to jason rohrer's tangle proxy. whenever a logged-in user moves from one node to another, be it through a hard link, another soft link, or through the title search box, the system creates (or strengthens) the bidirectional soft link between the two; however, some nodes—namely the special pages and the user profiles—will not display the soft links so created. by repeatedly moving from one node to another, users can and do deliberately create and increase the degree of integration of such soft links; some users will use these soft links to make anonymous comments on others' writing. the site's administrators have the ability to remove soft links at their discretion.
