Treat "space" not as a stage but as stuff. In the modern view, geometry flexes with energy; clocks disagree because motion and gravity reshape duration, and emptiness teems with quantum jitters that make "nothing" a misnomer. Microscopic correlations can even knit distant regions into a single informational fabric: when constituents are entangled, locality is not broken so much as relational—what exists most fundamentally are patterns of linkage, with geometry a large-scale summary of those links. If this is right, then asking where space is made may be like asking where a liquid is made: not in a vat, but in the collective behavior of its parts.Time poses the sharper riddle. Our equations treat past and future almost symmetrically, yet experience flows one way. The standard reconciliation points to boundary conditions: a remarkably low-entropy early state made increasing disorder overwhelmingly likely, aligning the thermodynamic arrow with our psychological one. Cosmological mechanisms that smooth and flatten the early universe help, but they do not erase the need for constraints that explain why the starting point was so special in the first place.Methodologically, this picture demands restraint. Elegance can suggest but not certify; proposals must recover familiar laws where they should and offer handles—however indirect—for observation. Read together, these claims amount to a single program: derive spacetime and its arrows from deeper microstructures, then test the derivation. Thus, the passage implies that a credible theory will treat spacetime as emergent and require that ________________.

문제) What best completes the blank?

① its elegance suffices even if it cannot reproduce classical behavior
② the early low-entropy condition is optional and can be ignored in principle
③large-scale geometry and the arrow of time are deduced from micro-level correlations and constrained by testable consequences
④ space and time are fundamental primitives that do not admit reduction
⑤ empirical checks may be postponed until new colliders reach Planck energies
