Yet if we remove all physical properties from space, than it would seem to have the non-physical qualities of infinity and equilibrium.
Infinity, as there would be nothing to bound its extension and equilibrium would seem to be implicit in relativity, as the frame with the fastest clock and longest ruler would be the one closest to the equilibrium of the vacuum of space. As such, the non-moving void of absolute zero.
So space is the absolute and the infinite.
Consider that what fills space is matter and energy. The most evident form being galaxies. Which consist of energy radiating out, potentially to infinity, at least over eternity. As Mass coalesces to equilibrium, or at least until all energy is lost and radiates back out, or shot out the poles of the eye of the comic storm at the center, aka, black hole.
Reality would be the cosmic convection cycle of this relationship between expanding energy and coalescing form.
People, for instance, have the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems processing the energy driving us on, along with the central nervous system to sort through the form, aka information, generated, to further distill out those signals most essential to us. Motor and steering.
Human society has organic social energies bubbling up, often categorized as politically liberal. While the civil and cultural forms coalesce, to give it structure and direction, often equated with political conservatism.
Plants don’t intentionally move, so they are free to expand as far as the energy they absorb enables them. Given human societies don’t move as much as they used to, giving them direction has become more complicated, so like plants, they expand as far as the energy they accumulate enables them.
It’s space, through and through. Time is just our navigationally sequential perception of change turning potential to residual. As the energy constantly changes form, energy goes prior to succeeding forms, past to future. As the forms coalesce and dissolve, future to past. Processes and the patterns generated.
So time is an effect of the tension and balance between energy and form, like temperature, or pressure, or color. We could use ideal gas laws to correlate volume with temperature and pressure, but they are only foundational to our emotions, bodily functions and environment, not the sequence of thought, so we can be more objective about them and no one assumes they are the 5th and 6th dimensions of space.
It should also be noted that dimensionality is an effort to give form to space. A mapping device, like longitude, latitude and altitude. Since thought is about form, we assume the map is the territory.
