Space is not emptiness.

It is allowance.

Nothing needs space to exist.

It needs space to appear separate.

Without space, there is no distance.

Without distance, there is no distinction.

Space permits differentiation.

It allows here and there.

Inside and outside.

This and that.

Objects do not sit in space.

Space is generated to allow distinction.

Separation enables interaction.

Interaction enables experience.

Experience requires perspective.

Perspective requires space.

Space is not a container.

It is a rule set.

A permission structure that says: “You may not overlap.”

This permission creates edges.

Edges create form.

Form creates usability.

That is why space feels real.

It is functional to appearance.

When reference dissolves, space does not collapse.

It relaxes.

Distance remains functional but loses psychological weight.

Near and far still operate.

But they stop meaning something.

Nothing is closer to truth.

Nothing is farther away.

Everything is equally allowed.

Space was never vast.

It was selective.

And what it selects for is experience.
