[Coding/Location] S

[Coding/Location] S

Aliases

• S
• white space use
• space integration

Definition

S indicates meaningful use of white space in the response. It is not a stand-alone basic location code; it modifies another location decision.

Conditions

• White space is actively used as part of the percept.
• The role of white space is confirmed in inquiry.
• Attach S to the relevant basic location code: WS, DS, or DdS.

Cautions

• Mentioning background alone is not enough. White space has to function as part of the percept.
• S should not be coded by itself as if it were a complete location decision.
• Interpretation of S belongs to the Structural Summary pattern, not to location coding alone.
