IT hasn't really been explained at all, but it seems that there is some kind of "space texture" similar to the planetary texture. It seems to be influenced by the dominant species in the same way, and the space it encompasses is called a universe for some reason. The Olympians say the "universe" of their creator race ended, and I think they make some kind of reference to breaking through some kind of barrier at some point on their way to Earth. May be misremembering that last part.
That's more a case of how Japanese works, rather than weird lore stuff. At the same time, the "space texture" is just the human texture, so it's just a matter of how far that extends (best assumption is honestly a trichiliocosm out, though some argue that it would be the entire known universe), what is outside, how does it actually affect alien life, do things exist in their own "universes" as something just really far out or something on a different dimensional level. Which are all things we don't really know, and probably will never truly know either.
My Theory: The Texture of the World acts as a filter of sorts. How we perceive and interact with Outer Space is through the Lens of Gaia. Even if humans were to manually jump free of the Earth, we'd still see space an other planets in accordance the laws and concepts of Gaia because we'd still bring part of that Texture with us. If we were to break into the Texture of another world like that of Venus, we'd find an environment that is far far different than what our space probes have observe. We would find the native habitat of Type/Venus in which it became the strongest life form of its laws and concepts.
that's how it works in real life too

BTW can any of you guys recommend an anime with a lot of explicit nasuverse reference?
We do see things beyond solar system through telescope.
Human texture is like " establishing laws of physics". Essentially even having to see or acknowledge different galaxies as seen in fgo like the names of it , we would need laws of physics for that.
Arguably if beasts are part of humanity then their abilities should also reflect humanity in general.
If it's upto how much space texture has expanded since the establishment of humanity's texture on earth then It should be observable universe at the very least.
But there's another thing. "Universe has finite energy and due to over expansion , solar system will collapse" is also something we know. My personal interpretation is that due to collapse of universe the solar system too will collapse. Because running out of energy shouldn't only effect solar system

Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
What are the references? Dead apostles?
There's quite a lot of things in real life when it comes to our "laws and concepts" where we've simply decided that "this is how it is" because it fits (best) with our understanding, or things that we simply attribute meaning and whatnot to, a good example being projecting our own human attributes onto non-human things, talking about those things as they were objective fact. It is of course, IRL, a lens through which we view the rest of the world, but textures are effectively just that, but now they're also magical and conceptually true.
There's also Nanatsu no Taizai as the closest thing we'll ever have to a Fate/prototype adaptation
Sonic and the Black Knight, unironically, has shared themes (and it's not the round table)
why are reality marbles considered forbidden research by the association? it seems kind of silly that they would ban the thing that gets them closest to true miracles and shaking Gaia's hold on magecraft
