Critical zones in desert fog: aids to multiscale navigation
Open accessAbstract
In this paper, we introduce the problem of "desert fog," a condition wherein a view of an information world contains no information on which to base navigational decisions.We present a set of view-based navigational aids that allow navigators to find their way through desert fog in multiscale electronic worlds.Prototypes of these aids have been implemented in the Landmarking and ZTracker systems.We introduce the concept of critical zone analysis, a method of grouping objects according to their visibility in views of the information world rather than their spatial layout.This concept was derived from a formal analysis of desert fog using view-navigation theory.Our analysis informally extends view-navigation theory to accommodate spatial multiscale worlds and is detailed in the paper.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
