I meant "linear" as in you start at point A and read until point B. That is, pieces of information are presented and organized as a sequence of one item after another. I am envisioning a system where the programmer has code in one window and the explanation of the code in another. Like a book with text on the left and annotations on the right.

That is the definition of the word, it’s not actually helpful in understanding what you’re thinking about.
