Final Final Domain Maps

The room represents my thesis as a comprehensive package, while the components within the room serve as the domains (figure 6). The bookshelf is linked with “cultural narratives,” while the small table represents “educational narratives.” The desk is “language reference,” which is positioned diagonally across the room from “language education,” which is in the form of a bed.
The two narrative-based domains are built from dark, natural wood, which is in contrast to the linguistic components that are painted white. Furthermore, the green rug lying under the bed and table signifies that these domains are related to the functionality of the concept and the actions of the user, while the remaining two domains are based mainly on influential media and precedents (figure 6). In figure 7, the breakdown and division of domains is organized within a Venn diagram. The three basic domain categories are “language,” “Japan,” and “narrative.”
Within these groupings, we find the aforementioned domains with additional notation to specify how these parts fit together. “Japanese language” and “cultural narratives” share common ground within the “Japan” classification, as do “cultural narrative” and “educational narrative.” This quality is also true for “reference” and “Japanese language.” “Educational narrative” and “reference” are two halves of a mini-category, which highlights the fact that both domains are based on learning.
