Terms Concerning Areas of Presence...

Nov 27, 2008 20:59

I'd like to define a few terms concerning areas of presence to help me in my discussions of such things.

A culture is one or more people with a setting, past, and traits in common.  A subculture is a culture within a larger culture.

An area of presence is the area a given culture has influence over, is connected to.

A setting is the area of presence a given culture lives or exists in.

A margin is the boundary between two areas of influence, or the overlap between two.

A path is the connection a culture leaves when travelling through an area of influence.

A threshold is any place a path crosses a margin.

A crossroad is any place two paths intersect.

crossroad, setting, culture, margin, paths, presence, threshold
