The effect is tied in which a cause as what is counted acts as a transitional point of awareness through which other actions may occur.mickthinks wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2025 10:55 am Counting is an act. The result of the counting isn’t. Counting is not the be all and end all of number, nor is measurement. You cannot “count” to 1.5 and you cannot measure your height precisely. No matter how closely you examine the point where the top of your head aligns with the measuring-rod, you must at some stage give up on the task of quantifying the gap between the actual point and the decimal gradations of the scale (marked or interpolated).
You cannot tell me exactly how tall you are. That does not entitle you to claim you are infinitely tall.
One can count to 1.5 like this .1,.2,.3,.4....
The height analysis is faulty considering an irrational number is a number shrinking manifesting fractals to infinity. The progressively increasing fractions of PI can be synonymous to fractals. Zeno's paradox: a line segmenr occurs, than half is added, than half of that is added, so on an so forth showing the whole line segment as infinite yet in all practicality it is still finite.
Dually the transcendental nature of PI necessitates it as infinite. Even non transcendental numbers, ie irrational, such as .3333... are infinite. There are infinite numbers.
