• Actual objects are complex.
• But underlying prototypes (or stereotypes) are simple
  - universally identifiable
  - ideal for visualization
• Here are two prototype chairs:

  

• PRINCIPLE: input the underlying prototype of the model to drive its simplification.
  - in addition to eps or K,
• This gives us a new degree of control impossible in conventional approaches.
  - prototypes encode iconic meaning that humans understand.
