Hover Hierarchy · attention follows consequence

A page normally needs only a few strong hover moments:

  • Primary hover establishes the main relationship or preview.
  • Secondary hover supports a collection without competing with the primary.
  • Utility hover stays quiet and should never delay an action.

When every item moves, nothing has hierarchy. Reserve expressive response for the item the user is actually inspecting.
