Time/space/logic/Wessel: The expression of time and space is no problem for relation predicates: "before", "next", etc.
Problem: time and space seen as subjects, where one in turn ascribes predicates: - e.g. "space is curved" - "narrows", "time slows down", etc.
>Time, >Spacetime, >Curved space.
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.},
