space
Let an agent explain space as physical extent and as bounded areas, distinguish physical, mathematical, architectural and outer space senses, describe how space is measured and designed, and support learning.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain space as physical extent and as bounded areas, distinguish physical, mathematical, architectural and outer space senses, describe how space is measured and designed, and support learning.
The physical extent in which objects exist and events occur, described in physics as three-dimensional or, with time, as spacetime that can be curved by mass, and in everyday and architectural use as a bounded area or room such as a bath building, a ward, an underground structure or an accessible guest room; space is studied in physics, mathematics, geography and architecture, and also names outer space, a separate sense.
What it is for: Extent in which things exist.
It can be explain space as extent; distinguish senses; describe measurement and design of spaces; support learning.
Distinguishing features
Three-dimensional extent
Curvable spacetime in physics
Bounded spaces in architecture
Multiple senses
What it looks like
Not an object; the extent and the rooms and areas within it.
How it is recognised
Extent containing objects
Physical or bounded architectural space
Outer space and abstract mathematical spaces are related senses
