In other words, there exist non-local elements in addition to local elements in the same framework.
Thank you for supporting OM’s reasoning.
Nope. Didn't support it. I fact you can't even support it.
[edited]The Man,
Here is a simple task for you.
Here is a line segment x________z where x and z are points on it.
Please tell us exactly where x________z is located?
Propositions like “ it is located between …” are not acceptable because you always can define an arbitrary point y along ________ which is not x or z, and this state is invariant, no matter how many arbitrary points along ________ are defined.
In other words, between any pair of points along ________ there is always an uncovered line segment that its exact location is unknown.
You are invited to define the all points along the line segment, such that each point will have its unique value AND no point will be found between the unique point.
It is clearly understood that x,y or z are points so you actually have to show how infinitely many unique points totally cover a line segment, such that no line segment will be found between the infinitely many unique points.
When you do that, then and only then you define exactly where x________z is located.
Please do that.
Notice you didn't answer these two simple questions.Why can't you use the word "points" instead of "zero dimensional space"? Why do you want to use so many different terms when just one will do?
Wow. I just answered your question.So I have a line segment XZ. It's located anywhere I want it to be. Number line, geometric plane, where ever.
Have you noticed that I have disproven your statement? To help you, I have bolded the important part.I have not used any propositions. Point Y wasn't used to define line segment XZ. By using two basic tools (compass and straight edge) I can label point Y on line segment XZ and have point Y divide XZ into to equal lengths. Better yet, I can then divide line segment XY again to form line segment XAYZ, where XA is 0.25 units long, AY is 0.25 units long, YZ is 0.50 units long.
In other words, between any pair of points along a line segment, there is always an uncovered line segment that its exact location is known.
But now you're going to complain and bring up the "But you haven't shown were it's located" arguement. And I'll answer, your question is too vague. I can take that line segment and put it on a geometric plane. I can take that same line segment and place it on a number line. Either way, your OM can't answer the same challenge since there will always be a line segment between two points.
Notice that bolded part. I'm using your statement where you created a line segment and two points.
Oh, and if you're asking how many points are between two points, I can say infinite. But that's not the original question. Your question was "Where is x____z?"
