ABSTRACT
So far, it has simply been shown that space may be conceived as a series of bounded units, within which the parts are ordered with some sense of direction, so that north and east are purer, or more propitious, than.south or west. By combination, the northeast emerges as superior to the south-west. There are a number of shortcomings in the existing arguments as they stand. First, the two axes effectively reduplicate one another; second, the significance of the coordinates remains somewhat vague; finally, in stressing the dual classification of space, there are difficulties in interpreting movement and relative position.
