Spatial theory(as the general category being discussed)
A philosophical or scientific framework that explains what space is like and how it works—for example, whether it's flat or curved, continuous or made of separate pieces.
continuous space(Islamic theological debate on the structure of space)
Space as an open continuous expanse, not composed of discrete cells.
discrete space(Islamic theological debate on the structure of space)
Space constituted out of exactly fitting atom-sized cells.
overlap(used in spatial philosophy)
When two spaces or regions share some of the same area or coordinates.
