Understanding energy fields and forces from an object's embedded position within volumetric space, where the object defines the reference frame and surrounding intervals contain active energy signatures.
Etymology: Latin "spatium" (interval, space between things) + "-inal" (relating to). Spatium specifically means the INTERVAL between things, not empty space. Spatinal = "relating to the space between things"—understanding energy-filled intervals surrounding an object from its embedded position.
Object-centric, not observer-centric. How an object exists within energy fields, not how observers measure it.
Space around objects contains electromagnetic fields, gravitational gradients, acoustic waves. Spatinal analysis reads these field relationships from the object's frame—the intervals between.
Applications: RFID tracking, WiFi motion detection, satellite reconnaissance, medical imaging, touchscreen interfaces, directional audio, autonomous vehicles—any tech reconstructing object state by reading its energy field environment.
Enables hyper-dynamic personalization: multiple people in same space receive different audio/visual content based on their unique spatinal coordinates.

"When you hover your finger over a touchscreen and it activates before touching, that's spatinal detection—reading the capacitive field disturbance around your finger's position. In smart museums, directional speakers use spatinal positioning to deliver different audio to each visitor based on their exact location. You hear one story while someone three feet away hears something completely different from the same exhibit."

Red Spading is a form of McCarthy-ism; when commonplace notions are challenged or brought to the point of being invalid or wrong the argument turns to a comparison of patriotism.
