Dear Anonymous and other colleagues,
It is an excellent question!!!
I have long had this short answer: seeking answers on why
space syntax works from human cognitive aspects - for
example how humans conceptualize distance or space or how
humans minimum angles and distances - is a fallacy; see this
earlier paper:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2177752_Ranking_Space_for_Predicting_Human_Movement_in_an_Urban_Environment
Why axial space syntax works - rather than segment
analysis that fails to capture the living structure - is
little to do with human cognitive aspects. Instead it is to
do with the underlying living structure of far more
less-connected streets than well-connected
ones. In other words, given a street network, people's
flow and random walkers' flow are essentially the same,
because both are substantially shaped by the underlying
living structure. In other words, a majority of traffic flow
(e.g. up to 80%) is determined
by the living structure or wholeness - the key notion in
The Nature of Order (Alexander 2002-2005).

Thanks and cheers.

A couple points on this question, but sorry no answer. I’d
be interested in responses too.
Minimum angle deviation paths are also distance
minimising so the question of what people are optimising
must remain open. Topological simplest paths (fewest axial
lines) might be thought of as reducing decisions and so
reducing cognitive load in some
way, if only in terms of the need to remember a route.

Hi there,
You might find the following paper or the references in the
paper to be helpful in this regard (although the paper is
not about the human brain's way of navigating):

Hi Space syntax community,
Thank you for being actively involved in academic discussion
on space syntax. I do have one question on which hope you
could please help. I’d be thankful to have your answer on
this question supported by academic evidence. The question
is:
- As says in space syntax, over time people tend to have
“least angular deviations” when traverse between
destinations. This is because they wanna unintentionally
“minimaise their brain navigation processing”. And, this
is again because “least angular deviation”
can produce “cognitively simplest journeys”. Now my
question is do we have academic evidence (either lab-based
or in a free condition) that a pattern with least angular
deviation is cognitively easier for brain navigation? (I
understand Kevin Lynch’s work
may be cited on this; but I’m after more robust new
evidence).
Thanks,
