¶ Space
RBF Definitions
"There is no shape of space. There is only omnidirectional nonconceptual ‘out’ and the specifically directioned conceptual ‘ins.’ Space has no identifiable meaning.
"‘In’ is individually unique as a direction toward the center of any one system-- but ‘out’ is common to them all.
“The atmosphere’s molecules over any place on Earth’s surface are forever shifting position. The air over the Himalayas is enveloping California a week later. The stars now overhead are underfoot twelve hours later. The stars themselves are swiftly moving in respect to one another. Many of them have not been where you see them for millions of years; many burnt out long ago. The sun’s light takes eight minutes to reach us. We have relationships-- but not space.”
