Abstract
This paper introduces a new concept for interface based on user perception, according to its definition in phenomenology framework. Based on studies about fractal aesthetics and its effect in human perception, an analogy is made with the scale-free topology of collaborative networks. Properties of this scale invariance characteristic should then be used for a computational implementation of a dynamic and optimized interface, adequate to the user preferences, feelings and perception.
