Miscellaneous Slot Values.

These are symbols that can give a value to element attributes or a transformation argument. They can be broken down into the following types: locations[*], sizes, thicknesses, numbers, speeds, directions, and lengths.

The locations are absolute locations in an s-image to anchor where things are. I expect there will be two levels of abstraction: a high qualitative level with symbols like top, bottom, center, etc. and a lower finer-grained level that can be zoomed into when necessary. The lower level of locations will be based on an estimate of the resolution of the visual cortex, based on results from perception and brain studies.



Table 4: Classifications of Miscellaneous slot values
locations bottom top right center off-bottom off-top off-right off-left
sizes small medium large          
thicknesses thin thick very-thick          
speeds slow medium fast          
directions left right up down        
lengths short medium long
