Abstract: “Geometrical digraph with cross-tabulation extends the social logic of space syntax in the pilot ‘Sequina’ slum area of Alexandria. The measure of universal distance at the micro level of room survey clarifies the social interface of the discrete spatial system. The essence of irreflexive network facilitates the ‘visitor’ penetration into the ‘inhabitant’ rooms. However, the backward direction inverts the relationship with the ‘inhabitant’ having more choice of interface in shortcuts than the traversable ‘visitor’ of then a deeper structure. The correlative networks condense at the second-rank to form concentric waves of social domains from the inmost ‘visitor’ exposure to the outmost ‘inhabitant’ privacy, with the double-face ring of in-between ‘living & kitchen’ of semi -domain. Further covariance of cross-tabulation defines negative relationship of ‘inhabitant’ zones, but changes to positive towards the central ‘visitor’. In this regard, the ‘bedrooms’ are set apart with alternative”
