Abstract

Through the elaboration of a metalanguage, the digital medium is endowed with a Hypercortex, a mirror of both individual cognitive processes and collective intelligence. Thanks to a complex thinking, establishing a parallel between the human cortex and the digital hyper cortex, the article seeks to reflect on the possibility of rethinking our understanding of the Web and the Human Sciences.
