Intertwingle

Intertwingularity is a term coined by Ted Nelson to express the complexity of interrelations in human knowledge.

    Hierarchical and sequential structures, especially popular since Gutenberg, are usually forced and artificial. Intertwingularity is not generally acknowledged—people keep pretending they can make things hierarchical, categorizable and sequential when they can't.
I was with someone who used the word in a sentence today. Remembered the word, forgot the sentence.
