Algorithmic Precision: The Mathematical Limits of Human-Computer Interaction

Why are the "e;Submit"e; buttons on websites always so large, while the "e;Delete Account"e; links are microscopic text buried at the bottom of the page? It is not just visual hierarchy; it is the direct application of a strict mathematical formula known as Fitts's Law. Developed in 1954, Fitts's Law is a predictive model of human movement. It calculates the exact millisecond time required for a...
