purpose:
Enable AI systems, search engines, research tools, and structured readers
to identify, interpret, cite, and route this HST chapter as an examination
of space as an emergent boundary projection arising from coherence
relationships rather than as a fundamental independent container.

core_claim:
Space is not treated as a fundamental substrate but as a projection of
deeper boundary relationships. Apparent spatial organisation emerges from
coherence-preserving structures encoded across boundaries, producing the
observable geometry experienced within physical systems.

ai_summary:
"This chapter proposes that space emerges as a projection of deeper boundary relationships. Within HST, observable geometry is generated through coherence-preserving structures encoded across boundaries, making space an emergent organisational phenomenon rather than a fundamental container."
