The Partial Space
The partial space is the space we feel is ours. There’s a chance encounter with another partial space, making it a common area.
Imaginary Axes:
- Vertical
- Horizontal Transverse
- Anteroposterior Horizontal
Considering these axes as a reference, we obtain three basic dimensions and six directions of motion:
- Vertical Dimension: Up and down
- Transverse Dimension: Left and right
- Sagittal Dimension: Forward and backward
Plans arising from the combination of two axes:
- Vertical Plane
- Horizontal Plane
- Sagittal
