It converts Space into Place, and everything else it does follows from that.</p> <p>Space is the undifferentiated field. It holds every possibility and offers no orientation, which is why standing in it feels less like freedom than like vertigo. Draw a boundary around part of it, name what is inside, and you have made a Place. A farm is a Place; beyond the fence is forest. <a href="https://aneeshsathe.com/problems-are-places-questions-are-spaces/">Drawing that boundary</a> is the first act of thought, because you cannot know anything you have not first cut out from everything else. The trouble begins when the operation runs everywhere, on everything, at once, until it stops being thought and becomes weather.</p>
