                         concept of magnetic field lines in space plasmas and magnetic 
                         reconnection, followed by presentations on: (a) the meaning and 
                         validity of empirical constructs related with magnetic 
                         reconnection research, such as: moving magnetic field lines, 
                         frozen-in condition and diffusion region of reconnection; and (b) 
                         experimental evidence of the diffusion region and related 
                         energetics. Next, aims to link external (MHD) with internal 
                         (non-MHD) regions of reconnection are discussed in association 
                         with the so-called Axford conjecture, followed by short 
                         presentations on: (a) global equilibria in reconnection; and (b)
