ABSTRACT
Direction (spatial aspects) is the largest category of movement exploration because there are so many ways of using directional movements and relating to directions around us. Most directional aspects have been long in use but have never been ‘formally introduced’ with clear, definitive terminology. Because directions and use of space are so familiar to us in everyday life, we tend to think that all is clear, and that this topic will be straight sailing. In fact, the reverse is true. In the course of exploring space we find that there is much which we thought we understood, directional movements for which we had certain concepts and terminology that seemed to work, but the full range of directional possibilities and their interrelation were never truly clear. Thus exploration means discovery, or rediscovery, and in the process we may find that we must rethink, re-evaluate, and clear away some woolly terminology if we are to be universally understood.
