Radiation and Space

Kant's theory of Experience both is based on a heliocentric model and conceives Space as one of its forms. However, he offers no systematization of these two features. One way of relating them begins with the observation that as light emanates from the sun, its rays spread out with respect to one another. Likewise, from Mind located at the center of its Experience, its world spreads out from it, thereby producing a Spatialized world. Such Spatialization would explain the juxtaposition of the objects of experience, i. e. it demonstrates that Radiation originates Space, though Kant never explains it as such.
