So, 4-Quadrant diagrams are very common in the ‘make-something-two-dimensional-from-something-one-dimensional-and-name-it-after-yourself-and-sell-a-million-business-books’ field.

These teleporters are however confined to a single zone. Those in ‘Pools’ are a major plot point (and are not exactly teleporters), and those in ‘Secret’ are somewhere between a major plot point and a ‘Town Portal’ mechanic used to reduce the required amount of walking.
