Non-locality\Locality is not limited to metric space, as clearly seen in http://www.scribd.com/doc/16542245/OMPT pages 26-30.!Kaggen said:I have said it before in this thread and by pm to Moshe Klein.
I believe Projective Geometry's conception of infinity is much more user friendly than what OM proposes as it is both potential and absolute due to the principle of duality. The problems of infinite measure/numbers are avoided since it is a fundamental non-metric geometry.
OM is both absolute and potential as clearly seen in http://www.scribd.com/doc/16542245/OMPT pages 22-24.
In general, even if there is a transformation between lines and points, the different properties of lines and point are still considered.
I wish to be consistent about fundamental measurements of the mathematical science, by avoiding properties that are both used and ignored, which is a contradiction.apathia said:You tell the mathematician that he limits by excluding what is already there.
But he could turn around and tell you, you limit by trying to cram in what's not there.
I understand. You want to liberate mathematics from what you see as cages.
Meanwhile the mathematicians aren't seeing them as cages but creations and temporary dwellings.
Consider for a moment that you may have created your own iron ball and chain.
I gave the example of how Cardinality is the size of the number of members of a given set and also showed that the internal complexity of each member must not be ignored in order to get Cardinality's value, even if we measure only the first level of each member. My argument simply says that by understanding the existence of the internal structure of each member, we have the flexibility to extend Cardinality to include also the internal levels of each member, if we wish to do so.
The one who creates its own iron ball and chain is the one that insists to ignore the internal structure of levels of a given member, by claiming that this is the universal principle of Cardinality, which cannot be changed.
The fact is simpler than what you think and it goes like this:The Man said:As apparently indicated by your representation a segment of that line does in fact “belong” to one domain and another segment of that line to the other “domain”. The third middle segment apparently “belongs” to nether domain. The point where the domains appear to intersect could belong to either or both depending on how those domains are defined. Your entire concept appears to based upon a simple lack of definition, but only in considerations that you specifically choose not to define.
This line segment can also be taken as an atom (an atom has no sub-things), and as an atom it both belongs AND does not belong to the given domains.
Your reasoning of a line is strictly limited to a non-atomic view of that line, by divide it to sub-things, and by doing this you prevent from yourself the get the non-local property of the atomic view of that line segment.
The Man said:Well this returns us to the already exacerbated discussion of closed and open intervals. That a closed interval includes the limits as members of that interval and an open one does not, in no way alters then fact that those are the de facto defined limits of that interval.
The same thing holds by using sub-things in order to define an atomic line segment, which is a contradiction.
You simply avoid any notion that is derived from the relation between a point and a line segment, such that a line segement is an atom.
If a line segment is taken as an atom, then it is obvious that it is only partially limited by locations along it, no matter what name each location has. The names of locations have no impact on the fact that an atomic line segment exists also beyond any given location.
As long as you get a line-segment only in terms of sub-things like points, you simply prevent from yourself to understand the line segment as a non-local atom.
As a result you are closed under collection of localities and can't understand the linkage between Non-locality and Locality.
What you call specific definitions is exactly some result of the non-local and local aspects of the atomic state, and indeed these results are drawn and erased according to the linkage between the non-local and local aspects of the atomic state.The Man said:Well that is part of the problem Apathia, in mathematics as well as physics ‘Non-local’ has specific definitions depending upon the application. Doron’s OM simply uses that term in an indefinite fashion to represent his concept of that “empty tablet upon which everything can be drawn and erased”.
I do not see any problem here for the existence and usefulness of your specific definitions.
On the contrary, OM provides the minimal terms that enable these specific definitions that depending upon the application.
By doing this we have the ability to define deeper relations between specific definitions, if we wish to do so.
Non-locality is not meta-locality, it is exactly non-local and it has a quality of existence that is different than Locality.Apathia said:As usual we have in "non-locality" a term of a number of different usages.
What I'm trying to express myself is non-locality as not a meta-locality (as if seems Doron does), but an abscence of any fixed or absolute locality.
Take for example some law of nature. It is not mata-locality but it is a principle that is invariant of many expressions, where each expression is some local aspect of that low.
If that low is defined as an expression of a deeper low, that from the viewpoint of the non-local deeper low, this less deeper low can be considered as meta-locality w.r.t these expressions (it becomes an intermediate level between non-locality and locality).
