Whereas the going action allows people to move from one location to another in the model world, and the entering action is for movement deeper inside the objects in a location, the exiting action is for movement back out towards the main floor area. Climbing out of a cupboard, for instance, is an exiting action. Exiting when already in the main floor area of a room with a map connection to the outside is converted to a going action. Finally, note that whereas entering works for either containers or supporters, exiting is purely for getting oneself out of containers: if the actor is on top of a supporter instead, an exiting action is converted to the getting off action.
