Abstract: Cybertextuality, to recapitulate, is a subset of cybernetics that studies the messaging and feedback modules – author, text, channel/media, noise, and reader – of languages and literatures. It is difficult to analyze this system directly because authors create reclusively. Traditional stylistics investigates a text spatially as a chain of words that, though it may take time for the reader to traverse, exists complete in a single moment. It has a three-dimensional size on the page but is frozen in time. Central to old philology are historical linguistics and a literary scholarship that applies what we know about language to the understanding of literature in its historical period. Typical old-philology tools include the concordance and the dictionary. Both read homogeneous, flat, unchanging material texts; and computerized concordancers do not change that fact.
