Basic Ideas:
- Humans can manually arrange items intuitively.
- Intuitive arrangements can be far more useful than algorithmic arrangements.
- Subtleties in arrangement have great power.
- Communication Power: Increasing our power to explain. Saying what things are, how they are related, what is important/not important, suggesting how things are used, etc.,.
- Logical: Increasing our power to reason. Clarifying a confusing set notation into Venn diagrams.
- Intuitive arrangements reveal complex and interwoven priorities.
- Intuitive arrangements are optimized for local situations.
- Intuitive arrangements reflect complex tensions between elements.
