The physical space is not the geometrical space and this is not the algebric space. The philosphical space transcend this.A philosophical space thinking can think that the space is the other;s field and this is in his relation.The spacial thinking is from the agent's from the resolver's point of view and this is the system for his completion and this is for his egalization with other.This is from his default,from his morphologicals defaults' point of view. The real space is not with our objective space identical relations. This is the other system. Go to the group"the resolvatism-a philosophy"for a resolvatist space philosphy.! The science give the necesairies conditions for the possibiles actions and the knowledge give the structures of this conditions from the resolver' objective point of view. The space is absolute and the time is not absolute,it is a consequence of infinite(?) sequence finite events.
