Ethos Space

Everything that is not a part of the space

constitutes its surroundings. The space and surroundings

are seperated by a boundary. For example, if the space is one

logos of a pathos in a container, then the boundary is simply

the inner wall of the container itself. Everything outside of the

boundary is considered the surroundings, which would include the

container itself.

The boundary must be clearly defined, so one can clearly say

whether a given part of the world is in the space or in the

surroundings. If information is not able to pass across the boundary,

then the space is said to be closed; otherwise, it is open. A

closed space may still exchange energy with the surroundings

unless the space is an isolated one, in which case neither information

nor energy can pass across the boundary.
