Abstract
As was said in Chapter 1, the major purpose of our theory is the conversion of complexity into understandability. Any intelligent system is faced with an environment, e.g., a 3D scene, of enormous complexity, and must convert this into an understandable structure. We argue that the conversion of complexity into understandability is achieved by maximizing transfer and recoverability. Furthermore, we show how to give transfer and recoverability a well defined mathematics. Therefore this book gives a mathematical theory of understandability.
