Preferred term

boundaries and authority  

Definition

  • Everything in the universe is organized or delineated by boundaries. Boundaries can be viewed essentially as dividing lines or limits that define what is “in” and what is “out.” Paradoxically, this view also makes boundaries privileged places (or means) of contact and relatedness.
