## Abstract

A note connecting spatial design principles to interface and product systems.

## Circulation

A digital flow has movement. Users enter, pause, compare, decide, retreat, and return. The interface has to make those movements legible.

## Material behavior

Every system has a material quality: latency, density, contrast, animation, copy, and state. Good interface design understands those qualities before decorating them.
