In an Exclusive perspective, the viewer is not invited to participate in the view, but instead, observes from the outside looking in….this results in a feeling of detachment and an inability to relate to the participants……
An Exclusive view can be achieved by:
1.Physical boundaries, in this case elements of the stair, as well as the difference in elevation between the viewer and the other participants, separate the viewer from the “event” (energy). It is inaccessible.
2. Inability of the view to capture the complete picture. Only portions of the participants are in the view….there is just enough information, i.e. the sliver of a door in the top right hand corner, to make the viewer feel like they are not getting the entire picture…they aren’t privy to everything that is going on…
3. The other participants are standing, and almost confronting each other….there is an aggressive/confrontational feel to the view, and it is not welcoming……

I am not sure that this is a completely exclusive view ... it is not too difficult for one to imagine looking up from the base of the stairs or a few steps up and being in this position. Not exactly this position, but not too far off. This might be a middle ground (between your previous post and your next post) but I would say it is a very soft middle ground and essentially still a "place at the table".
I agree that it is not totally exclusive....by that I mean, it is somewhat relatable...... but I would still suggest that the viewer is subtly excluded from the "activity" due to the various reasons I suggested earlier....
