control function logic

in ergonomics, a logical or typical and expected relationship between the operation of a control or input device and the resulting action or effect on a display. For example, if a person moves a computer mouse to the left, the on-screen cursor should also move to the left to preserve control function logic. See also display–control compatibility.
