Space (n.) is discoverable as a phenomenon. When we walk into the room we encounter it as a place with certain kinds of things where certain kinds of things are done. To think of a room passively as the space 'between four walls' is to absolutely mystify what a room is, and to impose upon 'space' an unnecessary (and inaccurate) robotism.
Space (n.) is not in any way coordinates on an axis. Rather it is significance. When we walk into a room, for example, what we encounter is that room and we encounter it not as something 'between four walls'in a geometrical spatial sense, but as equipment for residing.
Space (n.) cannot be captured by points plotted on a cartesian table. I am never here only, as this encapsulated body, rather, when I go toward the door of the lecture hall, I am already there and I could not go to it at all if I were not such that I am there. I am there, that is, I already pervade the room, and only thus can I go through it.
Space (n.) is defined in terms of how we encounter it before any theory of it is even begun. The spatiality of the world is primarily a spatiality of equipment, in which everything has its own proper place and its own significance.
Space (n.) is not an empty framework in which objects can occur; such a view cannot capture the experience of being in an unfamiliar, threatening neighborhood, or finding the scissors just where we expected to find them, or feeling that a room is spacious, or putting one's glove on the wrong hand.
Space (n.) is not points where objects are located, but places where things and people belong or do not belong; just as time is not made up of instants when objects are present, but of right and wrong moments.
