# Sculptural Hypertext

Storyspace 3 also supports sculptural hypertext, which can be freely mixed with Storyspace’s familiar calligraphic hypertext.

When the reader tries to follow the default link from a writing space, Storyspace uses calligraphic links if any are available. If no links are available, Storyspace checks to see if there is a current deck – the name of “deck” of writing spaces. If a deck has been chosen, Storyspace selects an unvisited writing space from that deck.

Each writing space, when visited, may set, remove, or modify the current deck. Writing spaces may also specify requirements that must be satisfied before they can be visited; requirements thus serve a function parallel to guard fields.
