1.1.3.2.  Base Space and Free Space

The base space is intended to capture the fundamental dynamic properties
of a system, those aspects to which the remaining dynamic properties may
be related as derivative quantities, free parameters, or any number of
higher order modulations and perturbances.  The remainder consists of
tangential features.  For simple physical systems this extra component
contains derivative properties, like velocity and momentum, that are
represented as elements of pointwise tangent spaces.  In an empirical
sense these features do not properly belong to a single point but are
attributed to a point on account of measurements made over many points.
Of course, from the dual perspective it is momentum that is real and
position that is illusion, but that does not affect the main point
in question, that concerns the uncertainty of their discernment,
not the fact of their complementarity.
