Abstract: Here is dynamic and contextual ranking of reference documentation based on an interactively selected position in new source logic. A computer receives a vocabulary of lexical tokens, a sequence of references that contains a first reference to a first reference document before a second reference to a second reference document, respective subsets of the vocabulary that occur in the first and second reference documents, a new source logic that contains a sequence of lexical tokens, respective measurements of semantic distance between the new source logic and the first and second reference documents, and a selected position in the sequence of lexical tokens. Based on the selected position, the measurements of semantic distance are selectively increased. Based on that increasing the measurements of the semantic distance, a relative ordering of the first and second references is reversed to generate and display a reordered sequence of references.
