Abstract

The previous chapter described the origins of contemporary syntactical analysis and introduced the established techniques for investigating the properties of spaces, paths, points and vision. In each case, the theoretical or conceptual foundation of the techniques was introduced, along with a discussion of its application and any specific findings developed through its use. In addition, the limitations of each technique were also described and the substance of any on-going debates associated with them.
