COMBINING TIME AND SPACE WITH ACT STRUCTURES

To reiterate:

• The temporal relationships in a quad describe the sequence of the acts.

• The spatial relationships in a quad describe what is examined in each act.

ACT TRANSITIONS

The transitions between acts as they appear in a quad can be seen as either "straight" or "diagonal."

A straight transition describes either horizontal or vertical movement (e.g. companion pair or dependent pair relationship) such as the transition between 1 and 2 in examples 6A and 6B below:

Example 6A	Example 6B

"Straight" transitions

A diagonal transition describes a diagonal movement (e.g. dynamic pair relationship) such as the transition between 1 and 2 in examples 7A and 7B below:
