History of hypertext Wikipedia
It was Ted Nelson who first coined the term 'hypertext.' archivists.org
...It was Ted Nelson who first coined the term 'hypertext.' Nelson and Douglas Englebart are considered to be the fathers of computer-based hypertext, the ability to link fragments of text together via computer, allowing the reader to follow a link from one piece of text to another. (The more recent term 'hypermedia' is a further generalization of hypertext, in which not only text but other media types, such as static graphics, animation, and sound, are linked together.)

hypertext and macramé
Dennis Jerz 2008...Her narrative structure depends upon a loop, leaving the reader with uncertainty... suggests the image of macrame, with the threads forming a "complete story".Method and Apparatus for Electronic Literary Macrame Business Development Dana W Paxson
A business method that divides an electronic literary macrame (ELM) or knowledge transfer tool (KTT) output into a freely-provided first part and a purchased second part, and provides hypertext links between the first and second parts. The reader obtains the first part by file transfer, streaming, download, portable memory, or other electronic means.In the Beginning was the Command Line Neal Stephenson
...The problem is that once you have done away with the ability to make judgments as to right and wrong, true and false, etc., there's no real culture left. All that remains is clog dancing and macrame.

Timothy Morton Wikipedia
review of Hyperobjects Cara Daggett
Morton's book is a queasily vertiginous quest to synthesize the still divergent fields of quantum theory (the weirdness of small objects) and relativity (the weirdness of big objects) and insert them into philosophy and art, which he notes are far behind ontologically speaking (page 150). Morton's wager is that for the first time, we in the Anthropocene are able to see snapshots of hyperobjects, and that these intimations more or less will force us to undergo a radical reboot of our ontological toolkit and (finally) incorporate the weirdness of physics. You know that cozy hobbit world where people tend gardens and think stars are beautiful and flush their excrement into the 'away'? Well, that world is a fantasy, and now that we can see hyperobjects, that world is at an end, hence Morton's subtitle....Morton argues that the 'hyperobjects' of the Anthropocene, objects like global warming, climate or oil that are “massively distributed in time and space relative to humans” (page 1), have become newly visible to humans, largely as a result of the very mathematics and statistics that helped to create these disasters.
At the End of the World, It's Hyperobjects All the Way Down Laura Hudson at Wired
...Examples of hyperobjects include: black holes, oil spills, all plastic ever manufactured, capitalism, tectonic plates, and the solar system. Hyperobjects are often ancient or destined to be, like the sum total of Styrofoam and plutonium we have littered across the Earth over the past century, which will remain for millennia. A human being may see evidence of hyperobjects—pollution here, a hurricane there—but try gazing off into the distance to see the totality of them, or to the very end of them, and they disappear into a vanishing point. Hyperobjects, as Morton says, emerge only in fragments and patches that do not always seem to connect up from our view on the ground.It's an enigmatic term, one whose meaning is by definition hard to grasp; it often seems more label than description. But it's precisely those squishy, elusive qualities that give it its explanatory power. The word hyperobject offers a useful shorthand for why threats like global warming are so difficult to understand or accept: They threaten our survival in ways that defy traditional modes of thinking about reality and humiliate our cognitive powers, a disorienting shift that sends many people reeling into superstition, polarization, and denial. Hyperobjects speak to the immense, structural forces all around us, and even inside us, that we cannot see with our eyes but strive to comprehend through data or computer modeling. While they are not, in every case, bad things, the most talked-about hyperobjects tend to be the most vivid and disturbing, particularly as they clip in and out of our vision like malevolent ghosts.
...Soon, you start seeing hyperobjects everywhere.
