    - Sears suggests that layout appropriateness (LA) is a worthwhile design metric for human/computer interfaces.

    - A typical GUI uses layout entities - graphic icons, text, menus, windows and the like -to assist the user in completing tasks.

    - To accomplish a given task using a GUI, the user must move from one layout entity to the next.

    - The absolute and relative position of each layout entity, the frequency with which it is used, and the "cost" of the transition from one layout entity to the next all contribute to the appropriateness of the interface.
