1. A method for displaying an animation in a user interface of an electronic device of a user, comprising:

  • (a) providing a computer system comprising a computer processor and an electronic display coupled to the computer processor, wherein the computer processor is programmed to display on the electronic display a user interface (UI) having at least a first animation pathway and a second animation pathway, which animation pathways are programmed to be executed independently of one another with percentage completion;

    wherein a configuration space for the UI has dimensions of a product of a number of views, a view being a UI element, and a number of animatable properties;

    wherein an animation pathway is a plurality of coordinates of the configuration space describing a plurality of configuration points, each coordinates of the configuration space for each configuration point having a percentage, the percentage denoting its position in the pathway, associated with said each coordinates of the configuration space;

    the UI being an animatable UI;

    (b) using the computer processor, generating and displaying the user interface having at least the first animation pathway and the second animation pathway on the electronic display, wherein the animation pathways have different relative velocities as a function of percentage completion regardless of the duration(s) of the animation pathways.
