Following is a revision of the first part of the March 25 proposal in the Spatial Locations and Directions thread.
The proposal divides the vertical dimension into six zones: very short, short, slightly short, intermediate, tall, and very tall. Placement in a zone means all or most of the body fills that zone. For instance, in a deep squat the body is in the short zone. In a leap the body goes to the tall zone.
The zones are defined in relation to the body’s normal standing position:
The very short zone has a floor at ground level, and a roof that would be at the mover’s shins in a normal standing position (Ex. a). The drawings in Ex.b,c depict the body in the very short zone.
The short zone has a floor at ground level, and a roof that would be at the mover’s thighs in a normal standing position (Ex. d). The drawings in Ex.e,f depict the body in the short zone.
The slightly short zone has a floor at ground level, and a roof that would be at the mover’s waist in a normal standing position (Ex. g). The drawings in Ex.h-j depict the body in the slightly short zone.
The intermediate zone (i.e., neither short nor tall) has a floor at ground level, and a roof that would be at the mover’s head in a normal standing position (Ex. k). The drawings in Ex. l-n depict the body in the intermediate zone.
The tall zone has a floor above the ground, and a roof that would be an arm length above the mover’s head in a normal standing position (Ex. o). The drawings in Ex. p-s depict the body in the tall zone
The very tall zone has a floor that would be at least an arm's length above the mover’s head and a roof above that line, in a normal standing position (Ex. t). The drawings in Ex.u-w depict the body in the very tall zone.
