Is there a name for the physical directions as I perceive them?

Asked by will (104points) November 10th, 2009

If north, south, east, & west are the “cardinal” directions, what are up, down, left & right? The immediate directions? Personal?

They’re sometimes called the “corporeal directions”, as here.

You might be interested in knowing information about how different cultures perceive space. In fact using “cardinal” directions is only one way of perceiving space. I read a great article on this and am trying to find it online but bleck i’m having difficulties.
