📄️ About the Dimensions
The Usability Harmonics framework adapts the Cognitive Dimensions of Notations (Green & Petre, 1996; Blackwell & Green, 2003) for evaluating complex professional software. The original framework was developed over a decade of research into how notational systems and information artifacts affect cognitive work, and provides a vocabulary for discussing design trade-offs rather than a prescriptive checklist.
