mid · spatial
the part of a space that is equally distant from the boundaries
Examples
- The International Space Station orbits Earth at an altitude where gravitational pull from both bodies balances exactly at its center of mass. physics
- The Forbidden City in Beijing was constructed with its main halls aligned precisely at the midpoint between the northern and southern walls. architecture
- The GPS satellite network calculates position fixes by measuring signal travel time to the midpoint between orbital extremes. computing
Emergence
through: the center of a space together with its boundaries determines the region that lies equally between them
- equidistant region
- interior continuity
- balanced position
