Chora (the Greek concept of space)

Chora is a Greek term that denotes a foundational concept of space or place, often regarded as the underlying framework that shapes and contains objects and events. In philosophical discourse, particularly in the works of Plato and later thinkers, chora refers to a receptive, formless medium that gives form and order to the world, much like an empty yet nurturing space. It is neither a physical location nor a static entity but rather a dynamic space that enables the manifestation and organization of phenomena, serving as a conceptual bridge between form and matter.
