It should be noted that Ted Nelson here has a bit of a naive viewpoint, as the reasons for how a machine is designed and why it exists are because people made it and people literally always have an agenda.
In other words, a machine exists because it does something that a person actively decided it should—it is the embodiment of non-neutrality.
