description: In this paper I have suggested that the electornic text-capturing and                                quote/commenting (Q/C) capability that has emerged in the last two decades                                has created the possibility of combining the discipline and reflectiveness of                                writing with the speed and interactiveness of speech in a form of interactive                                cognition that is sui generis and without precedent. Whether with another                                interlocutor or with a text, the interaction can now take place at the speed of                                thought, rather than at the lamentably slow turnaround time that paper                                communication had dictated. A series of experiments is described that will                                analyse and quantify the effects of Q/C interaction, both between people and                                between people and texts. In the interests of developing a corpus in the                                service of the latter form of interaction, plans for the establishment of a                                worldwide cognitive science e-print archived modeled on the Los Alamos                                Physics Preprint archive are also described.
