In classical physics, space is often imagined as a fixed grid: Cartesian, three-dimensional, and passive. But in the Fractal Universe, space is not a static backdrop. It is a living lattice of coherence, shaped and reshaped by the movement of Sparkspheres and their Stillpoints.

Stillpoints: Anchors of Coherence
Stillpoints are precise, but not fixed. Unlike energy, which behaves as probabilistic haze, Stillpoints are anchored coordinates of coherence, each nested within a Sparksphere. As Sparkspheres move, they carry their Stillpoints with them, subtly reconfiguring the structure of space itself.

Space, then, is not a passive container. It is in motion: constantly restructured by the choreography of Sparkspheres. Imagine a forest where the trees are not rooted, but gliding across the terrain like hockey pucks, growing, multiplying, and interacting. Each tree remains a coherent center, but its location evolves. This dynamic forest creates zones of tension—topographies where Stillpoints cluster, diverge, or collide. These pressure zones may manifest as dark energy.

Dark Energy as Spatial Metabolism
Dark energy is not random expansion. It is the metabolic response of space to the shifting architecture of coherence. Stillpoints act as mobile anchors; they define orientation without freezing it. The universe expands not because space is empty, but because coherence is multiplying. Space stretches to accommodate the growing complexity of nested Sparkspheres.

Space as Relational Geometry
Descartes imagined space as a neutral stage for motion, a fixed grid laid down in advance. But in the Fractal Universe, space is structured by motion itself. The grid is not pre-existing; it is woven in real time by the movement of Sparkspheres. Precision exists, but it is relational and evolving, not absolute.

This model invites us to see space not as emptiness, but as living structure, a responsive field shaped by coherence, tension, and transformation.
