Ted Nelson's two-way links: the hypertext that never was

Ted Nelson coined the term hypertext in 1965, and his original vision called for links working in both directions, so readers could trace back to every page pointing at a document. Renewed attention to that idea highlights how the web adopted only one-way links, and Nelson's Project Xanadu never became the standard.
Why now: Discussion of web history and Nelson's unfulfilled two-way linking vision, possibly resonating with current debates about backlinks and connected note-taking tools.
