  • Abstract
    A person may give his attention directly by transporting himself from place to place, or vicariously by communicating over a wire with the object of his attention. A procedure is presented for combined allocation of these two kinds of personal presence. Allocation of a physician´s time to direct diagnosis versus telediagnosis is an example.
