1. A method for displaying sentences of human-readable text in a cascaded format, the method comprising:
generating a customized cascade of a sentence with iterative operations including:
a) parsing a text to identify linguistic constituents associated with each word in the sentence;
b) tagging the identified linguistic constituents;
c) applying cascade rules to the linguistic constituents to generate instructions that display the sentence in a cascaded format, wherein the sentence breaks and cascading including indentations are defined by the cascade rules;
d) receiving input relating to a context of a user, the input captured in response to the display of the sentence to the user, wherein the context of the user includes a type of a display device used to provide the display of the sentence, and wherein the input includes a measurement of eye fixation and eye movement that is used to measure the ability of the user to comprehend a sentence displayed using the cascade rules in the type of the display device;
e) generating personalized text formatting parameters for the user based on the context of the user including the type of the display device and the measurement of the eye fixation and eye movement of the user;
f) applying the personalized text formatting parameters to the sentence to generate instructions that change the display of the sentence into an adapted cascaded format, wherein the personalized text formatting parameters provide visual enhancement to the display of the sentence while maintaining the sentence breaks and cascading including indentations that are defined by the cascade rules,
wherein the personalized text formatting parameters are based on a single individual profile corresponding to the user, and the personalized text formatting parameters are adapted specifically for the single individual profile, wherein the visual enhancement identifies linguistic structure including one or more of syntax, a key phrase, or a part-of-speech, wherein the visual enhancement is customized to the type of the display device, and wherein the visual enhancement comprises text formatting from one or more of: sentence spacing, font, highlighting, font color, font size, or background color of the sentence; and
g) repeating operations d) through f) until a stop criteria is met; and
rendering the display of the customized cascade of the sentence in a user interface of the display device, using the cascade rules and the personalized text formatting parameters.
