Perceived novelty of functions - a source of hedonic quality

We are entangled in a tightly woven social fabric of which many of the intersections and communication processes are hidden. The social structures made visible are those of governments, corporations and institutions. Other social structures that have no representation are trivialized as fiction or on a day-to-day-level, as gossip. Gossip is the most effective and compelling way of weaving the social reality. In Re:Gossip, the internet is both the representation and the communication process for the underlying and ad-hoc social network of gossip and social fiction.
