## Routing Note

Primary owner: human-centered-design-kb (core UX/HCD practitioner resource). Second edition (first edition May 2020; this edition adds material on AI and spatial computing), 186 PDF pages; running-header pagination offset printed p. = PDF p. − 20.

Compiles to [[laws-of-ux]] (overview/hub, plus the applying-principles and ethics chapters) and ten per-law articles: [[jakobs-law]], [[fitts-law]], [[millers-law]], [[hicks-law]], [[postels-law]], [[peak-end-rule]], [[aesthetic-usability-effect]], [[von-restorff-effect]], [[teslers-law]], [[doherty-threshold]]. Cross-links to existing articles: [[working-memory-capacity]] (Miller's law), [[information-processing]] and [[selection-and-control-of-action]] (Fitts's law, Hick's law), [[perceptual-organization]] (Von Restorff effect, Gestalt grouping), [[usability-and-user-experience]] and [[website-design-and-evaluation]] (Jakob's law, aesthetic–usability effect), and [[human-factors-ergonomics-discipline]] (Fitts & Chapanis history).

The book's per-chapter content has been distilled into the Wiki articles rather than held in this metadata record (the earlier draft of this META carried a full chapter-by-chapter summary; that material now lives in the per-law articles and the [[laws-of-ux]] overview).
