As a linguist, I'm not a fan of the word "space" as it implies "emptiness" and it seems that there is truly no "emptiness" at all -
"nature does indeed abhor a vacuum".
I'm surprised that I get most of this. You did lose me at "orthagonal", but I circled back lol.
Tesla, or at least the ideas attributed to him, seem to gibe with your proposal. There is so much that we don't understand, even about the forces and matter (if matter even exists) here on Earth, and infiinitely more in the cosmos.
I do find it intriguing that some believe that ancient humans actually understood (or maybe "aliens" told them) the nature of things better than we do now, and that those people posit that a lot of the structures created by the ancients indicate that this is the case. But regardless, we do know that whatever we popularly believe at this point in time is woefully inadequate to describe our environs. Cheers to those like you who are thoughtful enough to propose a new canon altogether.
