  It is argued that important information on the emergence of space is hidden
at the quark/hadron level. The arguments follow from the acceptance of the
conception that space is an attribute of matter. They involve in particular the
discussion of possibly relevant mass and distance scales, the generalization of
the concept of mass as suggested by the phase-space-based explanation of the
rishon model, and the phenomenological conclusions on the structure of excited
baryons that are implied by baryon spectroscopy. A counterpart of the
Eddington-Weinberg relation concerning Regge towers of hadronic resonances is
noted.
