self-navigating hypertext


Explanation:
As a suggestion for rendering the phrase in your source you link to, ie "hypertexte en maille de filet" (rather than "navigation en maille de filet").

Your link describes "hypertexte en maille de filet" as characterised by "the user choosing the relationships he will establish between the available nodes and activates the links in whatever order suits him..."

Cf. "Thus in a self-navigating hypertext, the order in which you visit the nodes or lexia (terms for the separate sections of text) is determined by you, the reader..."
http://www.ualberta.ca/~dmiall/hypread.htm

"Self-navigating hypertext allows users of the environment greater flexibility in where they might go. The user of the system determines the order in which nodes are visited."
http://www.accesswave.ca/~hgunn/special/papers/hypertxt/intr...

Presumably the 'net mesh' image is to do with the pattern of links the user 'knits' as they move through the site.

Ie. As opposed to websites where the order of your 'visit' is structured by the links between the pages.

Web or weblike structure also used (same idea, but closer to the French 'maille de filet'):
