3



In this scenario, the left extents of the individuals' path of travel will tend slightly to the left due to the open space. It will also tend to the left on the right side of the path of travel. The reasoning for this tendency is a little more complicated than the prior posts, but is essentially a result of three things: the open space to the left, the wall to the right, and the open space beyond the exit and entrance of this room.

Characteristics of the spaces beyond the entry and exit will have an impact, in certain cases, on the travel paths in a given space. Since the assumption is (similar to 1 and 2) that the spaces beyond the entry and exit are open and undefined, the path of travel will tend to be meandering and thus more easily influenced by solid obstacles and voids. That is, as shown, they will be pulled towards voids and pushed from solids.
