The fuzzy interface,
a tool for idea association
We, more often, reason by concept. This is
why we can, for instance, solve a complex problem by breaking
it down into more elementary concepts.
 In
our daily experience, our perception of the world is made possible
through its representation in the form of finite elements and
delimited sets. This finite characteristic of concepts causes
all the difficulty of modeling, dynamic and moving phenomena,
as well as the idea genesis within a group of individuals.
When
concept representation is frozen, as is the case for a printed
document, but also for a Web page, interaction opportunities between
concepts are not immediately perceivable. Especially when the
environment changes in the meantime. If the interface makes use
of the dynamic properties of interactions between users and information,
it becomes a tool of idea association. The interface becomes,
as a result, a fuzzy interface.
