Excerpt from the “Almost Complete Guide to Inaccessible Space, Bottomless Rooms, and Interdimensional Gap Management,” 3rd edition, with minor changes.
Space
Noun | /ʁaʊ̯m/
A form of presence through absence. It begins where something is not – and thereby makes everything else possible.
Space separates, connects, remembers. It is a stage for physical phenomena, emotional escalations, and a silent witness.
It is used in physics, architecture, and for introspection during long elevator rides, and is often confused with emptiness, yet it is usually full – of meaning, memories, or forgotten socks.
Please note: Space is not a passive state, but an invitation to move.
Side effects may include: the feeling that walls are listening, an inexplicable melancholy in old rooms, and the sudden realization that vastness does not always mean freedom.
In Space World, space is more than a container. It is the stage on which everything happens. A stage that moves with us. And sometimes: against us.
“It fills up immediately if you let it.” – Prof. Dr. M. Singh, astrophysicist and minimalism activist
Perhaps it fills up with us?
Before anything happens, before a thought takes shape, before a coffee cup falls to the floor – there is space.
It is the silent prerequisite, the blank canvas, the first breath of every story.
We usually only notice it when it is missing – or when it suddenly fills up.
Thorn, in her first memory, calls it the first thing she ever perceived:
Space.
The first memory I have.
The experience of space around me... Space everywhere outside and inside me.
Space is not neutral. It absorbs what we bring into it.
Feelings. Expectations. Systems. A space is not measured in meters, but in meaning.
For some, it's an office. For others, a prison.
And what it means when space becomes smaller has less to do with walls and more with what's going on in our heads.
In Space World, spaces are condensed not only by matter, but by ideas.
“Maybe space isn't the container. Maybe it's the content.”
Spaces have memory. They store movements, encounters, energy.
An empty space is never really empty—it is ready.
For the next thing. Or for the memory of what once was.
In Space World, Thorn is not just the idea of space—it is space.
And when you enter a space, you change it—those who stay become part of its history.
