RE: perceivable structures

Hmmm

Looking for a single word or a couple so we can use it in place of perceive.


 

First one fits but is pretty long

The other two mean something different than perceive.   Understanding is
beyond perception for example. 

 

It is a tough one.

For "perceive" - How about "to become aware of directly through the senses",
"to take notice of", or "to achieve understanding of"?

Well,

 

We could use another word for perceive but we decided that we wanted to
stick with perceive because is was sensory agnostic.   Still you make a good
point Tim.

 

Hmmmm.  Got another word for perceive or a short definition of it we can
plug in?

The proposed definition seems somewhat "circular" to me - "perceivable"
defined in terms of "perceived" 

Maybe change proposed definition to:

"relationships in the content that are (objectively?) noticeable (through
the user's senses) from the default presentation"?

Thanks and best wishes

This definition seems backward. 

perceivable structures 

relationships in the content that are necessary to perceive the organization
of the content. 

I think it needs to be 

perceivable structures 

relationships in the content that can be perceived from the default
presentation. 

RATIONALE 

What we are trying to achieve is to make sure that any relationships that
are obvious from the presentation are also obvious when looking at the
markup.  

Yes?
