There are just two functioning concepts: assignment and skillfulness. According to PLACE theory, every entity is in a place and that place can indicate assignment. The world functions according to the profundity if the assignment and to the skill with which the assignment is carried out. The entity may not be aware of the assignment, and may carry on, skillfully or not.

If you were not in place at Wright Auditorium on the afternoon of May 4 between 3 and 5, you missed a perfect example of the theory at work in Kim Gray-Saad's performance by the Dance Collective in which case assignment and skill were as one.
