zones
Marked-off sectors
Zones are defined areas or regions, distinguished from surrounding space by some characteristic or purpose.
Time zones divide the globe; war zones see combat; comfort zones mark psychological limits.
To zone is to divide into designated areas: The city zoned that land for commercial use.
If you zone out, your attention drifts and you become mentally absent.
