"Hypertext blurs the distinction between subject and object, matter and the absence of matter."
Hypertext enables a reader to interpret the meaning of the text they are reading, whichever way they would like causing a "blur" in the actual meaning of the text. Because of this, the reader has more control over what they are reading. They get to choose the meaning of the text and with hypertext it becomes difficult to distinguish between what the author is saying and what they are referencing. Through hypertext, different ideas can be brought together, crossing certain lines that were once looked down upon if crossed, therefore causing a blur between the subject of the text and the objective of the text.
