A paradigm for viewing and analyzing the environment specifically from the aspect of Dimensional Zones where each zone, individually and in combination provides both opportunities to be taken advantage of and to be defended.

Comments:

From one perspective, Dimensional Stages of Action can be thought of as the Dimensional Zones in action (and their analysis).

From a broad perspective, Dimensional Stages of Action is the analysis of space as it relates to the opponent(s) in both a defensive and offensive perspective. Its general purpose is to explore, expose, and further understand the possibilities that this analysis uncovers.

Dimensional Stages of Action is typically done by breaking the Dimensional Zones into stages (aka regions or zones) and exploring the multitude of possibilities that are uncovered.

Dimensional Stages of Action is directly associated to Stages of Range, but only from the perspective of the Depth Zone.

Dimensional Stages of Action can be used in combination with a broad spectrum of other analysis paradigms, including (but not limited to):

Category Completion

Degree of

Line of

Method of

Path of

Range (i.e. Short Range, Medium Range, Long Range)

Stages of Range

Zone of Action

Zone Concept of Directional Movement

From one perspective, one could argue that this idea encompass all the other forms of analysis about the subject of dimensions, their analysis, and their use.
