The article analyzes a philosophical text in the structures of pre-determinacy. The beginning of the text is defined as pre-text. Entry into the text suggests the structures "pre-" that mark the field of thinking. It exists on the border between the previous context and the subsequent thought. Within the framework of the philosophical method of subject- object identity, a direction is set from the "pre-" to the text. Referring to the pre-text allows understanding it as history and con-text. There are two ways of objectification: classics and tradition. The classics present a "standard" understanding of the text within the framework of one common tradition of meaning. In such a way the lack of other meanings outside of tradition is revealed. The classical understanding of "precedence" can be ana- lyzed through the concept of "rhizome" (Deleuze). The digital space, which exists as a rhi- zome, becomes a new variant of precedence for a philosophical text. The pre-text is be- coming a digital hypertext. It consists of many texts referring to each other in the form of clicking through hyperlinks. The pre-text manifests a pre-determined beginning of thought that is unfolding in the text. In the concept of "classics", subjectivity is set by the "absolute subject". In the classical understanding of history, subjectivity is pre-determined by the “absolute subject”. The modern representation of precedence structures is distinguished by the “nomadic subject”. The rhizomal existence of a digital text is predetermined by the “present subject”. Thus, the pre-text introduces the positedness of meaning and indicates the presence of a subject in the body of a philosophical text.
