The concept of space is based on distance and that on the idea of a 
multiplication of a unit length with a real number.

But look at the similarity between a Minkowski diagram and an Argand 
diagram.

vs.

My assumption is, that spacetime behave like complex numbers (complex 
four vectors) and our space is a certain subset.

Our universe is actually our own past light cone.

Or: the subset of something more complex, that we are able to see.

That 'something more complex' is then spacetime and the world we observe 
its internal structure.

I call this idea 'structured spacetime' and have written this 'book' 
about it:
