    Let me at this point offer a summary of the main points in the chapter so far. The discussion has been concerned with the contextuality of social life and social institutions. All social life occurs in, and is constituted by, intersections of presence and absence in the 'fading away' of time and the 'shading off' of spcae. The physical properties of body and the milieux in which it moves inevitably give social life a serial character, and limit modes of access to 'absent' others across space. Time-geography provides an important mode of notation of the intersection of time-space trajectories in day-to-day activity. But it has to be inserted within a more adequate theorization both of the agent and of the organization of the settings of interaction. In proposing the ideas of locale and of regionalization I want to formulate a scheme of concepts which help to categorize contextuality as inherently involved in the connection of social and system integration.

    Elaborating a little on this point provides something of a transition between the disussion so far in this chapter and that which follows later. The main theorems I wish to propose run as follows. Ordinary day-to-day life - in greater or less degree according to context and vagaries of individual personality - involves an ontological security expressing an autonomy of bodily control within predictable routines. The phychological origins of ontological security are to be found in basic axiety-controlling mechanisms (as indicated by Erikson, whose ideas I discuss in what follows), hierarchically ordered as components of personality. The generation of feelings of trust in others, as the deepest-lying element of the basic security system, depends substantially upon predictable and caring routines established by parental figures. The infant is very early on both a giver as well as a receiver of trust. As he or she becomes more autonomous, however, the child learns the importance of what are in Goffman's term 'protective devices', which sustain the mutuality implied in trust via tact and other formulae that preserve the face of others. Ontological security is protected by such devices but maintained in a more funamental way by the very predictability of routine, something which is radically disrupted in critical situtuations. The swamping of habitual modes of activity by axiety which cannot be adequately contained by the basic security system is specifically a feature of critical situations.
