Thanks for the link which I quickly read (overhang from proof-reading
I
suppose !)

"Muriel Cooper [1925-1994] was a renowned graphic designer who had
a vision of computer-based tools that could actively participate
in the process of dynamic visual expression.

I don't know, we always had a 'middle-man' somebody trained in
both areas who 'parsed' the info and split the jobs. I suppose
cognitive psychology of perceptions and statistcal survey (are?)
could loosely be used as a denominator for engineered frameworks
for passive interactions. But then again a statistical average used
frequently perpetuates a notion that a proportion would be correct.
Anyhow it all seems to me to be about 'ease of retrievals'

Her interest in
supporting the design process with intelligent tools led her to
make artificial intelligence one of the major themes of her
research group, the Visible Language Workshop [VLW]. Home to
people of both visual design and computer backgrounds, the VLW
embodied the best of the interdisciplinary spirit in which the
MIT Media Lab was founded. During an era in which intelligent
design applications were ignored by both the AI and computer
graphics communities, the VLW supported a range of projects in
this area, from automatic layout to graphical editors that can
learn from examples."

and a very clever lady by the sound of things :) something I could not
dream of accomplishing.

Nah I'm just bemused as to why there's 40,000 languages worldwide
how come we all see the same dog?

should we have a hierarchical perceptions?,

OR, do we sweep the board and use present sociological and
psychological findings, across all nations and peoples?
There are sensibilities and rural cultural tradition for example?
you know like certain colours and composition etc are unfortunate,
will communicate different in one country to another & etc.

ta!
