- The structural pattern is identical to Byzantine, heraldic, and interface design practice: establish a repertoire of visual forms with culturally-recognizable meanings, codify rules for their use, and maintain consistency so that users trained in the system can navigate and extract meaning rapidly, as Horton (1994) develops in his canonical treatment of icon design for software interfaces
This sourceCanonical practitioner treatment of icon design for software interfaces; codifies the design of repertoires of visual forms with conventional meanings (search, save, alert, navigation) and the rules governing their combination and consistency.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
