Definition of space ratiocination and a lexiconic multiplicity of associations to different instances for how people represent space across religion, philosophy, and sciences:
Definitions of Space Ratiocination
Space Ratiocination domain: Non-being, potential, & emergence
- Spatial static mode: simulacra of void, emptiness, non-existence.
- Spatial dynamic mode: simulacra of potential, what could be or could no longer be, possibility for emergence.
- Spatial multinamic mode: simulacra of the simultaneity of what is not and would could, as emergence and disappearance, beginnings and endings.

Instantiations of Domain and Modes
Space as Domain:
- Egyptian Nu (Redford, 2003); Chinese Tao (LaFargue, 1992); Greek Khaos (Gustav, 1971), Newton’s relative and absolute space (1687); Leibniz notion of space (Leibniz & Clarke, 1716); Kant’s a priori space (Kant, 1781); Architectonic space (Lefebvre, 1991)
Space in Modes:
- Static: Buddhist sunyata (Monier-Williams, 1964); Norse ginnungagap (Sturluson, 1916); Kabbalist ayin (Scholem, 1995); Maorian te kore (Walker, 1990)
- Dynamic: Chinese yin (DeFrancis, 2003); Potentiality, i.e. dunamus (Aristotle, -4th); Possibility & probability theory (Laplace, 1812)
- Multinamic: Judaist, Christian, Islam, “creation from nothing”; Emergentism (Emmeche et al., 1997)
Instantiations of Tessellation
- Tessellations: Infinite divisibility of space (Fullerton, 1901; Kant, 1781/2004)

- Amalgam: Embodied space (Low, 2003; Durão, 2009)
- Telluric: Proxemics of cultural space (Baldassare & Feller, 1975); Social space (Bourdieu, 1989; Lefebvre, 1991); Atmospheric space (Tokunaga & Cox, 2000) consisting of troposphere, mesosphere, stratosphere (Wallace & Hobbs, 2006); Geospace (Lotko, 2017)
- Celestial: Heliosphere (Schrijver & Siscoe, 2010); Interplanetary medium (Gloeckler, 1979)
- Stellar: Interstellar space (Herbst, 2001);
- Galactic: Intergalactic space (Politsch & Croft, 2019); Voids (Wszolek, 1993)

Thanks for this, Gregg. As Rachel says, there's a bit of grandiosity and salesmanship in this article, but the view he presents is something explored in great depth in the Time-Space-Knowledge (TSK) vision of Tarthang Tulku, or in Dzogchen or some other Buddhist schools. TSK doesn't reject time and only emphasize space, but expands and transforms the understanding and experience of time just as this author is inviting a transformation of 'space.' In Dzogchen, or related practices like Mother Tantra, sleep yoga is one of the practices that lets you directly discover that 'mind' is always 'on,' even in so-called deep (unconscious) sleep. Dzogchen, especially when presented as part of the 9 Vehicles (from shamanism up), is one of the richest and most profound bodies of teachings I've ever encountered, after years of practicing in multiple traditions. As for the relationship of Dzogchen and Zen, I agree with Rachel -- the fruit of their teachings may not be identical (and I say that from the point of view that all traditions produce fruits with their own unique flavors, not from the point of view of ranking), but they are indeed very close.
