Structural Fingerprint
Use two stable system constants and one flexible signature so the interface feels authored without coating every region in the same motifs.
PatternsContextual
Intent
Create coherence through alignment, type roles, action treatment, media behavior, and rhythm while preventing decorative repetition from becoming a house style.
Checks
- Name two stable compositional or behavioral constants and one flexible signature.
- Use controlled variation instead of identical sections or repeated decoration.
- Require a functional or brand reason before repeating one motif across more than two adjacent regions.
Warnings
- A fingerprint is not a license to apply decoration to every region.
Exceptions
- Strict platform-native tools may rely primarily on platform structure.
