re: Off on a tangent.
The "instanton" is a interesting concept but it does not explain the origin of the entity.
The “Tiny Bubbles†at; http://web.uvic.ca/~jtwong/pre-H-T.htm are also very interesting, but neither of these concepts include a description of the fundamental meaning of the word space.
Why is it so difficult for you to answer a simple question?
What is your understanding of the word space?
