a state where a boundary limit is absent, enabling something to move into spatial extent

open.spatial · forms: open, opened, opening, opens

Examples

Emergence

from: boundary space extent motion state enables spatial
through: the absence of a boundary limit enables movement into spatial extent by allowing unimpeded transition across locations
