Abstract
A graphically encoded icon comprises a label attached to an object. The label includes a static portion and an intrinsic portion. The static portion has an area of machine-readable indicia. The intrinsic portion includes at least one area comprising a stimuli-responsive material. The stimuli-responsive material is configured to change from a first state to a second state in response to a trigger, and the change in state is based on an attribute about the object.
