Abstract :
We propose that a metaphor can be used to represent domains that are not easily quantifiable. Formal representation of the metaphor then can be used as a user interface to communicate information about those domains between the human and the computer at a cognitive and visual level. We propose a model which uses the metaphor of a human face as an interface data formatting system for the perception and evaluation of universal aesthetics
