One of the features of electronic literature that could be used, in my opinion, to give a complete definition of this phenomenon is the tension that exists between languages of an individual and that of a machine. Human language presupposes existence of self-reflection, i.e., metaphysical ability that creates Subject-Object dichotomy. Language, therefore, is a sort of a mirror that is used to display consciousness; individual literally observes their own self by letting the self to express itself. Computer language, however, is a shard of that original reflective ability that is "alive" by the means of a specific algorithm. Algorithm sets borders and rules on how to operate whithin these established borders. Code reflects someone else's ideas rather than its own. Thus, when code and language converge there arise two possibilities: firstly, code can be used to manifest metaphysics; secondly, code can use human language to project its own logic and express it in metaphysical terms, which only pretend to be metaphysical. This second scenario illustrates a different dichotomy: Object-Object. This tension illustrates the intricate nature of electronic literature and its relation to human consciousness. Thus, electronic literary works can be used to eighter awaken the Subject or put it into slumber.
