non-linear
A term primarily used in multimedia and time-based media to describe any sequential production which is not played back or experienced in an order predetermined by the producer(s). This normally implies some measure of user control or interactivity, although we sometimes speak of a non-linear narrative or structure within a linear work such as a book or film.
The glossary contains nearly 700 terms. Except for some common mis-spellings and Americanisms, definitions are only returned if they match the term you entered exactly. If you cannot find a definition for a term you expect to be in the glossary, try consulting the full list of terms.
