Abstract

Early on in the analytical process, it became clear that the core category (the central phenomenon) was the interaction itself. In fact, this was the only category that involved action at all. All other categories related to this at some level. This chapter presents the principal categories and sub-categories and loosely establishes their relationship to each other in terms of their proximity to the core interaction. Thereafter, each category is discussed in turn, beginning with those most distant to the interaction. For each category, relevant concepts are identified, as are the properties and dimensions of the category.
