Habitat residents were oriented in a circular fashion, with the following directions typically being used.

Compass points indicate directions with the main walkways oriented to the north, south, east and west. Areas between two compass points are termed quadrants, identified by both the compass points they are between (northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest).

The outer wall separates the travel corridor from the rest of the habitat. The inner circle is the innermost area of each floor, including the central platform lift.

Habitat residents commonly speak of heading centerwards when moving toward the inner circle and heading wallwards when leaving it.
