A single line segment or infinitely many points along a single endless line is a complex result of Non-locality\Locality Linkage, such that no complex result is a building-block (and vice versa).
By local-only thinkers.
No, I do not have to do that.
A line is exactly a 1-dim element and we do not nead any location along it in order to define it as a 1-dim element.
So is the case of a 0-dim element, we do not need any other dimesion in order to define it as a 0-dim element.
The same holds for any given n>1-dim element.
No they can't and the difference between a line and a line segment, clearly shows it.The correct statement is that you can't comprehend that points can completely cover a line
So, Doron, what makes something one-dimensional? More generally, what makes something n-dimensional?
Oh, wait. I need to put that in bold, don't I. Let's try again:
What makes something n-dimensional?
The Man said:Did you suddenly lose track from your previous statement to these two Doron? It is the number of values that must be used to define a location that determines the dimensions of an object or space not other dimensions defining dimensions.
Again you are not able to get the notion of building-blocks that are independent of each other, and when linked they define some complex result.The infinite number of points along a line is not a result of doing anything. They are there, whether you specify any of them or not.
Again you are not able to get the notion of building-blocks that are independent of each other, and when linked they define some complex result.
Your notion gets only the complex result and does not get the independent building-blocks that enable the complex result, in the first place.
No they can't and the difference between a line and a line segment, clearly shows it.
No segment can be a line exactly as no segment can be a point, and this symmetrical inability guaranties that no collection of 0-dim elements completely covers a 1-dim element.
Demesions are not made of each other.
We simply use Locality (0-dim) as an initial dimension in order to give the names of the other dimensions, where no given dimension depends on any other dimension.
Some name of X is not X (for example: the name "silence" is not silence).
If points cannot cover a line, there has to be at least a part of the line where there is no point. Show me that part of any line.
You see jsfisher, your friend laca does not understand the difference between "line" and "line segment", exactly because I omitted the word "endless".No segment can be a line, but a line is made up of segments.
No segment can be a point, but a segment is made up of points. Just like a line is made up of points.
Your conclusion is just plain wrong.

We are talkink about an endless line, not about line segment.Really? Show me a line or a line segment that doesn't have any points on it.
You do not understand http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5266959&postcount=6566.Evasion noted. The question was what makes something n-dimensional, not about the construction of dimensions.
Evasion noted. The question was what makes something n-dimensional, not about the names of dimensions.
Evasion noted. The question was what makes something n-dimensional, not about gibberish.
Focus, Doron. It wasn't meant as a hard question: What makes something n-dimensional.
Now you do not get the first part of http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5267138&postcount=6571 .You continue to repeat this as your mindless babble,
We are talkink about an endless line, not about line segment.
Again we see jsfisher's "contribution" to this dialog.
We do not need anything along a single endless line, in order to make it one dimensional, and this is exactly where your abstract ability fails.
An endless line is exactly only a 1-dim element.Show me a line OR a line segment with no points along it.
No, we see your continued contorted use of language.
What did you mean by:
What 'thing' are you referring to that is not needed?
An endless line is exactly only a 1-dim element.
A point is exactly only a 0-dim element.
No one of them depends on the other.
An endelss line, where only 1-dim is considered (in this case we have a non-local building-block).Show me a line with no points on it.
