The Knowledge plane interface

A new approach to human-computer interaction and user interfaces based on the concepts of simple and composite unities, is described. A simple unity can be seen as an attribute-based object. The prototype described here uses a three-dimensional graphical workspace for working with the knowledge planes. A k-plane is a set of semantically grouped unities and constraints on them. K-planes exhibit a comprehensible interface for both stand-alone and cooperative work. Key-Words: User interface, Human computer interaction, Autopoiesis theory, Attribute/value systems
