Discrete parts(describing whether space can be broken into pieces): Separate, individual pieces that are clearly divided from one another, like how a pizza can be cut into distinct slices.
Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika tradition(identifying the philosophical tradition being discussed): Two related schools of ancient Indian philosophy that developed detailed systems for understanding logic, knowledge, and how the world is made up of substances and qualities.
Partless substance(describing how this tradition views the nature of space): Something that exists as one unified whole without being divisible into separate pieces, like water might be considered a single substance rather than many individual parts.
Spatial contact(discussing how objects relate to space): When two things touch or occupy nearby locations in space; the physical or positional relationship between objects that are close to each other.
