I very much appreciate the concept behind this project and it looks like an excellent pedagogical piece. I think structured philosophical concepts can truly benefit from network graph representation. I was not very successful at accessing the graphs further, not sure whether it was my browser (Chrome) or flickr, but I was wondering whether the text of each proposition is directly accessible from the graph interface.

Please tell us about your piece.
This piece turns "Principia Mathematica" into a choose-your-own-adventure story. As readers go along in the book, they trace the logical dependencies between chapters of "Principia." Each page includes a map showing all propositions in a given chapter and any propositions in "Principia" whose proof cites one or more propositions in that same chapter. On any given page, readers pick whichever chapter they wish to jump into next. By design, they can only go back to Chapter 1; this encourages them to get lost in the text's non-sequential chapter structure and adventure through the text along different paths. There is also an introduction that explains "Principia" and its philosophical goals to newcomers.
