Answer with the option that matches your use most closely. (Even if you use it metaphorically)
Speed/velocity

Acceleration
Momentum
Inertia
Force
Pressure
Energy
Field
When I say "[xyz] space" you think about
Information

(this is the most important one and the motivation for all this)
Complex system
Entropy
Function
A game is
equilibrium
a graph
a network
wave
Frequency!
Amplitude
Temperature
Density
Volume
Area
Dimension

1. See "fractal dimension": Rate at which the amount of points in an object increase as its scale increases (points in a scale increase ^2, in a cube increase ^3, in sirpinsky triangles ^1.585
Fractals
that's my daily contribution to science

done for now, thanks everyone!
