Our bodies are our locations of perception through the sensory organs and through our means of locomotion; as bodies, we move toward and arrive at certain destinations and avoid others, operate machinery of all kinds, form routines of movement through the day or the year or the lifetime, reproduce social patterns, and initiate and follow deviations from established configurations. The same physical places are differently perceived by different people, for example, by orientation to smell, or visual capacity or socioeconomic orientation, by assigned activity, by age and life stage, by habituation and by recognition of particular affordances—which all can differ by culture.
