I refer to space, everything with which one's physical autonomy can interact with (including one's own body). This spatial dimension governs what volume of the universe one can occupy, and this, as we can actually experience it, is limited. If one occupies space coordinates x1 y1 z1, then, it is impossible for another to occupy x1 y1 z1 coordinates simultanously. In the case of time, an event v1 ...
