| "...spatial systems are inherently unstable, prone to fluctuation and oscillation, to discontinuous shifts in behaviour and structure, and to adaptation and evolution from within" | |

| "Locational spaces and times are outside the individual, experiential spaces and times are constructed from inside the individual" | |
| Discussing the work of ecologists in the 1940s and 1950s, the authors state: "Rhythm, tempo, and timing became not simply additional attributes to the spatial characteristics of human ecology; rather with space they were jointly responsible for the maintenance of a living community" | |
| Distinguish between territorial or universal space, which may be described with three dimensions, and paraspaces, which are social, cultural spaces. | |
|
Rhythm: recurrence of fluctuations and movement. Timing here can be universal time (i.e. metric), life time or social time (the latter two being paratimes). Tempo: the number of events that occur in each unit of time. Timing: synchronization of rhythms. |

Define three basic types of time: Universe time or standard time. Can be recorded by clocks and calendars and so is metric. Life time. A paratime composed of biological time (life spans etc.) and psychological time that provides a 'sense of time' (e.g. past, present, future). Social time. Derives from group use and knowledge of temporal features such as frequency, duration and sequence of socially relevant objects and events. Social time is also a paratime. |
