        "originally defined" as what?  Your own monitor space?

        That subject is in need of better scope than can be offered here.  At
this time, the best route to take towards understading color spaces is
to sit down with Bruce Fraser's "Real World Photoshop".  There also is
a consensus that Photoshop 6 is better and more intuitive regarding
color spaces than was PS5.  (Bruce's text for version 6 should be out
in a couple of months).
