[kgpixbmd] 4 dimensions of UI

Text can be considered a one dimensional UI.  Graphics add a second dimension.  Animation adds a dimension in time.  Interactivity adds another "dimension". 

Consider a 3D object on a 2D screen: it's 3D-ness can only be comprehended by rotating it on screen, either interactively or with animation.
