Hi Valerie ,
do you think it is important to "save" the symbols for the "receptive"
viewpoint - together with the ones for the "expressive" viewpoint which has
become the "natural" basis for SW ?
Iīd rather forget about them in order to get not confused or in order to not
confuse the beginners (???)

hhm back ? but not straight back ???
I think of my eyes as positioned at the back-wall -there is no way to go
back with my eye-gazes - in case I donīt move my head to the left or right -
instead of that I can look almost straight sideways if I really try (but
canīt see anything sharp - ouch!!)
forward diagonally up down, left , right - no problem - but back - how do
you do that ??? ;-)
Iīm planning to shoot photos on facial expressions for reasons of
demonstration - if you are interested I can attach them to a private note !?
All the best - behind the scenes ?;-)
Stefan
