Primes¶
- Design Patterns
This sourceCatalogues UI/interaction patterns for desktop, web, and mobile. Cited inline in §5 (tier B — supports the HCI/UI-pattern-library breadth claim).
- Gestalt Principles
- A well-formatted code file exploits the gestalt principles consistently and structurally — the same operational use of proximity, similarity, continuity, and closure that Tidwell (2010) catalogues as core UI patterns in Designing Interfaces applies directly to code legibility.
This sourceCatalogues UI patterns whose effectiveness rests on operationalized gestalt principles (proximity, similarity, continuity, closure) for interface organization across desktop, web, and mobile.

Mechanisms¶
- Summary-Detail View
- Its strength is browse-and-inspect at scale: a user keeps an overview of the whole set while pulling the full detail of any one item on demand and returning to the set — the master–detail pattern that makes large collections navigable without loading or showing everything.
This sourcePresents Overview Plus Detail as keeping an overview visible while users inspect selected details without displaying all detail at once.
