This is really an anthropological topic. I am not familiar with the
anthropological literature regarding space, but a brief web search suggests this
topic has been well explored. The conceptualization of space is influenced by
cultural and psychological factors that are too complex to be represented by
any software.

How to recognize people that question the need for conceptualizing space.
Rounded shoulders and slanted forehead.
Rounded shoulders from shrugging their shoulders when asked a question.
Slanted forehead from the dope slap they give themselves when told the
answer.
Or as they say on the farm, a pig don't know a pig stinks.
Simplify the cultural and psychological factors so they can be represented
by software.
KISS, keep it simple, stupid.
Did I really say that? Sorry, I got carried away. I did not mean to offend.
If the presentation is so complicated it is not understood by the intended
audience, it is useless.
I think ESRI's success lies in solving the cultural and psychological
factors using education, examples and standardization.
