The problem with
presenting information, as explained by Tufte, is simple -- the world is high-
dimensional, but our displays are not. To address this basic problem, Tufte offered five
principles of information design:
Quantitative thinking
comes down to one question: Compared to what?
Try very hard to show cause and effect.
Don't break up evidence by accidents of
means of production.
The world is multivariant, so the display
should be high-dimensional.
The presentation stands and falls on the
quality, relevance, and integrity of the content.
