==========================================
Parametrification involves abstraction and
organisation in terms of parameters (dimensions in a
concpetual space)
==========================================
Angle and Radius
are two entirely separate variables -with a different metric
for each: One is measured in "radians" and the other is
measured in number of pixels. However, both of these can be
given a similar numerical representation.
When the two quantities are both measured in compatible units -<Radius> and <Angle> then become two dimensions of a single conceptual space -and can be manipulated on equal terms by comparable (if not identical) processes.
Normally,
angular measurements are small and fractional (there are
approx 6.28 radians in a 360 degree circle.) So, to equalise
the units used -one could use degrees and convert to radians
-or one could scale the radians (x 100) to create an integer
representation, which is rescaled when actual calculations
are done.
On the other hand, one could represent both angular
information (in radians) and radial length both as
fractional (real) numbers.

The Menu reflects the
conceptual structure,
Both the headings and the possible choices within each section represent the parameters and (parametric) values which comprise the conceptual (control) space.
