[18] Schonewald-Cox and Bayless define the generated or gradient edge as follows: “The generated edge is distinct in that its location and characteristics develop in response to the condition and effectiveness of the first filter. This edge, generated by protection, also affects protection. It includes ecologic, geologic, climatic, economic, and demographic gradients, such as varying land-use practices.”

[22] See Reyner Banham’s comparison of different ways of demarcating comfort and environment: the construction of an envelope and the building of a campfire; the former requiring more effort and resources; the latter risking the draining of resources. The campfire, Banham argues creates concentric zones of heat (and comfort) defining different zones of activities, but which risk being disturbed by external forces such as wind, smoke, and so forth.
