If you wish to address space from a scientific perspective, then I agree, you can 'define' it by making reference to mathematics (e.g., Reimannian geometry, etc). However, I don't think you can say that you defining space, rather you are seeking a appropriate model for space. For a scientific model, one would hope for a predictive model so that we can test the model to see if it is accurate and reliable. If you can't develop a predictive model, then at the very least the model should be explanatative. That is, the model is able to cohere with existing theories (e.g., general relativity) in a manner that other scientific explanations are less satisfactory.
