I 376 Space/Introduction: here whole statements are introduced, not individual terms. >Introduction. E.g. "X iff Y" whereby X contains the space term. - "Space" is not independent. Space terms are not capable of logical explication or they are superfluous. >Explanations, >Definition, >Definability. "Absolute space"/Wessel: Absolute space would depended on the elimination of all objects of a space structure - that is not permitted. Cf. >Substantivalism, >Relationism, >Absoluteness, >Empty space. I 378 Space warp/curved space/Wessel: curved space is meaningless if space is the container of all things. - It is only useful as a curved row of objects, against an uncurved row. I 378/79 Space/existence/Wessel: the space exists iff any given space exists - this requires the simultaneity of objects - analog for the time.}, note = { Wessel I H.
