'''Distributive writing''' is the collective authorship (or '''distributed authorship''') of texts.

This further requires both a definition of ''collective'' and ''texts'', where collective means a connected group of individuals and texts are inscribed symbols chained together to achieve a larger meaning than isolated symbols. This places emphasis on texts being represented as writings. This could be written words, iconic [[Symbol|symbology]] (e.g., [[graffiti]]), [[computer programming language]]s ([[C (programming language)|C]]/[[C++]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[Perl]], etc.), [[meta-level mark-up]] ([[HTML]], [[XML]], [[Scalable Vector Graphics|SVG]], [[PostScript]]), and their derivative works. Also, not to be excluded are all the above in various languages. Further, to define texts, we must also have an interpreter for the texts. For [[Programming language|computer programming languages]], we have a compiler, for writings we have written words interpreted by our mental faculties, and for meta-level mark-up there are [[web browser]]s, printers to interpret [[postscript]], and various [[software application]]s which turn textual representations into another format.
