"The form of the book is distinct from its substance" (p. 94). The problem was how to release the substance from the particular bibliographic and literary forms in which it was expressed. In other words the structure of conventional documents was too constraining and their content had to be, as it were, liberated by decomposing and recomposing them according to the monographic principle. This is the problem, to use Carlson's words quoted above, of rhetoric and knowledge structures, of meaning and form.
