Word: Adaptive hierarchy

Definition: The flexible design model in which product layouts change, affording priority for elements based on a user's action at a given time within a given context

Reference: I first heard of adaptive hierarchy from an ustwo blog post in which they reimagine a car interior dashboard that provides a user with different options and views depending on context (car is on, car is in motion, roadway conditions, etc).

In adaptive hierarchy, context is key because it is context that can support more empathetic and appropriate options to the user based on the user's actions in a particular moment.

Question: Does adaptive hierarchy build on the "slippy ux" model? Is there a point where automation goes too far and we lose user empowerment altogether?
