Document Summary
Obligatory time: used to do necessary things such as eating, personal hygiene, sleeping and working. Arrow of time: simply means that you cannot go backwards, sideways, or remain stationary in time as you can do in space. You can only move forward in time: time not only has quantity, but it has direction. The arrow of time constrains when you can be where in space, and leads us to the related constructs of the time-space totality, time-space prisms and time-space paths. When we add arrow of time to space, we get time-space totality it"s within this time-space totality that we all must function. The most usual use of the time-space totality is to calibrate the time with space axes to encompass your daily routine also called activity space, focused on home, with work, recreation, and shopping locations. The time-space cube is a useful tool for understanding the possible range of people"s behaviour.
