What do the Papers have to say about space? What are its various functions and properties? Before we take inventory of the space levels of the master universe, we should consider the nature of space itself:

Space, then, is a condition of seeming emptiness in Reality; a condition that is favorable to motion, and one which requires motion. It stands in contrast to that which is not-space (midspace), one which is resistant to motion. Space has limits in all directions; these limits are reached whenever space gives way to midspace.

The entire space of the present and the projected master universe is internally subdivided into six major divisions. These are the six space levels. Each of them has two names (129,2-8),  (351,6-9) through (352,1-2) that are used rather interchangeably:

Each of these space levels is an elliptical zone of "lessened resistance to motion," and each is horizontally separated from adjacent space levels by zones of relative quiescence." (128,5) Since each space level is also ". . . bounded above and below by the midspace zones of quiescence . ." (125,2), it follows that a space level is something like an elliptical tube that is favorable to motion and which is surrounded on all sides by relative motionlessness." (125,3)

Concerning total space, space inside the master universe and all space external to the master universe, we are further informed:

This gives us a picture of the whole of space. It has limits, but the exact whereabouts of its outer limit is not known. It is the arena in which the entire master universe is being created, and it extends for an unknown distance on beyond the outer periphery of the master creation. Total space is pervaded by the Conjoint Actor and by the Unqualified Absolute.

Much as the space presence of a Creative Spirit defines a local universe (455,1), so does the space presence of the emerging Ultimate define the master universe. Where the Ultimate is (or will be) present, that is the master universe; that which is outside of this presence is also outside of the master universe.

:(130,1)  Beyond the outer rim of the superuniverses is a semi-quiet zone that averages in width around 400,000 light-years. This zone separates the superuniverses from the first outer space level. It could hardly contain any mass materializations because it is spoken of as being "free from star dust - cosmic fog."

As we proceed through outer space, the Papers have less and less to tell us concerning these increasingly remote regions. Concerning the Tertiary Space Level, the Papers make only two statements:

It may be that, in the largest sense, the Newtonian concept of universe with a center offers less distortion of fact than the Einsteinian conception of no center.
