The idea is that space need not be an a priori given thing in the Kantian sense. Einstein posited that the inertial systems of space-time are relative, and they interact by relative motion and the associated Lorentz transformation. It is a small step from space-time being deformed by relative motion to spacetime being defined by motion, i.e., the construction of space(time) by motion: “ex-pati”. This discussion supports the argument that space is not necessarily a fact, but can be made, can be an aspect of the making.
