102    The hyperstructural approach to information opens new possibilities

104    The user can connect any two items which

240    - evaluating readability using the correlation  rendering. The triliniear filtering and mip-mapping
241      function of the rendered text  cause artifacts and reduce readability in rendered text.
242    - applying the earlier experience on Monte Carlo methods,  We plan to develop a better filtering method for
243      etc.  rendering text.
244    As one theoretical approach for modeling the readability
245  Controllers  we can use the correlation function of the rendered text.
246    In this approach, we can apply the earlier experience
247    New ways to navigate/control information flow in the screen  on the MCMC and other sampling and modeling methods.
248    
249    Custom controllers can offer new ways to navigate and control the information

251    They are many usability aspects in the configuration of the degrees of freedom
252    provided by the controller that can be theoretically modeled and experimentally
253    tested.
