anyone wishing to discuss circular UI design? [on hold]
Lets begin with a piano.

it looks something like this to a person not skilled in the musical theory.
To people who listen and wonder in it's mystery, the web - it is sticky.
Prickly viruses in our own minds as well, they constrict the flow.
Time it seems is in equality with current and raw ability of energy today.
Simply: the tools we use are never fixed because we are always changing them.
This is root of this discussion on designing your own personal graphical interface of choice from a standpoint of what needs to be done with the information you may have at hand. This turns a keyboard into mush and causes performance anxiety.
No matter what you do or what you think, the internet is a metaphysical manifestation of our thoughts and desires. We are already past the point of actually knowing what is real and what is hyper-real.
A concept I think we are not quite ready yet for: the machine showing us how silly we have become.
So what we must ask ourselves is this: economically (UX) we must retool and re-fix (UI applications apps programs tasks tools etc.) continually alongside other's.
How do we do all of this at the same time, not get confused and keep it efficient?
I am quite sure if airplanes were consistently running off course and we always went to the wrong address on our phones, we then would have a case.
To look outside of an invisible box on the other hand, this is more difficult and where I am leading us.
Lets get back to the Piano: I do love music, but unfortunately in my childhood, music was not reinforced so I have a Cover Song ear. However after challenging myself to try numerous instruments I developed a general understanding that music was math and sound - it's voice. Quite literally it is still prevalent and open subject for global communication. Sound of Music.
So this is where this might get a little confusing because this is not a declaratory but rather questionably equerry(whatever that word means). I must admit, I find myself as confused about the Web as I am about music.
Is the relationship between a representation of notes on a clock (FACEtype or setup ….ui ) indicative of a circular pattern on the Keys and other wave form instruments? At some point the notes are a different pitch but sound the same. So yes a circular form is possible.
This is the first Hurdle. (Keep in mind we are really discussing not having bars and pull-downs but initially a choice and then your shape of mind (quite literally).
So when a User opens a landing page, they do not have to know music theory! They just have to see the keys. This I suppose is a reference to viewing small pages on a phone sized screen.
All the while not knowing how to tune the heavy lunk o junk lol to be continued....
