✦ Synopsis

A new term, determination, is introduced to help describe the quality of interactive systems' user interfaces. A well determining interface is neither too under-determining nor too over-determining for its user; under-determination can be brought about by excessive secrecy and over-determination by excessive authoritarianism on the part of the computer (or its programmers). The concept is used to elucidate several important aspects of effective interaction. Determination is not solely a property of system design but depends on the experience and values of the user.
