  • Abstract
    Hypertext provides a method for transferring concepts across the differing cognitive topologies of a group of team members. The existence of a psychological topology is postulated, a topological space that is assumed to be a separable metric space. With this assumption, a network formed by a hypertext document residing on a single node of a local area network is shown to be an arbitrarily close approximation to the psychological environment for each team member. A hypertext document residing across several nodes, one for each team member, is then shown to be an effective method for transforming to fit each team member´s cognitive space
