Operational outcome terms defined by visual engineering practices.

  • Glance-Direction — rapid orienting; the artifact produces a fast first grasp of where to look
  • Non-Linear Reading — designed routing rather than smooth consumption
  • Felt Weight — perceptual mass and structural emphasis
  • Peripheral Uptake — pre-attentive and field-based legibility
  • Memetic Repeatability — a learnable kit that travels through re-performance
