- Whoever gave cachet to certain characteristics that are present at specific points of the grass
- Whoever made it desirable or necessary that passersby reach a certain location at the periphery of the field
- Whoever set up restrictions to entry at certain locations around the periphery of the field
- Whoever made any changes to the field (including non-human intervention)
More generally, culture at large and historical precedent.

Imagine a green field of grass.
There are minor differences across the field, but some of these differences can be noticed: a slightly darker patch of grass, a slightly yellowed patch of grass, some stones of varying sizes, a section that is slightly raised from the rest of the field.
Around the field, other things can catch the eye: there's a road to one side, some trees of varying sizes, one currently in bloom.
Over the seasons, the profile of this grass changes. At some point there was a park bench to one side of the field; later, it was moved to another side. There was once a storefront near to one side of the field.
