Take SPACE
and what your mind “knows” about that “thing” :-
(1)
SPACE
actually has three Directions,
not ‘Dimensions’.
It’s three planes are the
Horizontal
Longitudinal
and
Vertical.
————
{ It has to ‘borrow’
any dimensioning
from a separate existential-domain of
QUANTITY/QUANTITIES }
(2)
Perhaps equally clarifyingly
the Space-domain of human-movement
likewise expresses the movers’s way of
‘spacing’
their body-parts’ movements –
i.e. dominantly either ‘directly’ or ‘flexibly’;
the ‘forgotten’ sense-term is
“shaping” –
“self-shaping”.
———
English also has the traditional cultural expressions
“Get yourself in shape”
“Shape up or ship out”
The other three movement-‘domains’ are
Time
Weight
Flow
