This is actually a very good comment but it does not disprove my theory.

You can have a circle in 2D but you can't have a sphere in 2D only in 3D so the geometrical shape is inherent to the space you "measure" it in without the space there is nothing not even geometrical shapes, and what if you are reduced to a theoretical 1D space then you only have points and lines and maybe empty spaces.

Well you could say that a point is always present in any space but what is a point? Is a completely abstract concept that does not really exist in nature - even in our 3D world the smallest things we can call reality are at the Plank size, there is no "unmesurable" point, at least as far as we can say.. and what is a circle(or any other geometrical shape) if not a collection of points ordered in a specific way, right? So we have something(shapes) composed of nothing(points)?! - well how's that possible - it's possible because we have a "space" that is composed of something(aka. not metaphysical points) but real stuff that has dimensions and out of that we can build geometry etc.

Otherwise you could not have "something"(shapes) out of nothing(points) either you have a space to define the shapes in or you have a mind(also something) to conceive those shapes and hold them in memory aka. metaphysical space of the mind.
