Pattern template

Vehicles of communication may endanger the local communication process although significant activities occur at the points at which they interface with zones of unmediated relationships. A protected network of unmediated relationships may be developed distinct from that of the mediated network and orthogonal to it.

Physical Automobiles are dangerous to pedestrians and yet social life is enlivened at the points where they meet. A protected network of pedestrian paths may be developed, distinct from the road system, and orthogonal to it.

Broader Activity nodes; Standard frameworks; Local relationship loops; Selective interchange axis; Local interrelationship domains; Cycle of relationship reinforcement; Compensating relationships in parallel; Linear relationships enhanced by non-linear processes.

Narrower Protection of emerging foci; Special modes of relationship; Focus-oriented communication networks; Protected low intensity relationships; Hospitability of communication pathways; Intersection of differently paced communications; Arrangement of structures ot engender fruitful interfaces.
