What a low level of abstraction.
You do not get the idea.
At the momnet that you ask "what's between bla bla bla" this "bla bla bla" is local w.r.t "what's between the bla bla bla" and "what's between the bla bla bla" is non-local w.r.t "the bla bla bla".
Some analogy:
This is like the horizon, each time new things are not the horizon as long as you go to the horizon, but the line of the horizon is always there in a different level, and it is not made of the things that are gathered by it.
jsfisher's question:
What's between blue and Antarctica?
Doron's answer:
The thing that gathers them into a collection.
But as you point out here, this isn't a "what." It isn't a thing to be put between.
A C B is a misleading construction when C stands for the not local that collects A and B.
A B -- because the C is not a content but a receeding horizon.
Not a thing to be a member of the collection.
There are two ways we treat the pronoun "I".
One is an objective reference where "I" am an object of discourse though not the object of a sentance.
Another is "I" as purely subject. The subjective "I" is always out of reach as an object of discourse, except in a metaphorical or symbolical way.
Trying to signify it as a mathematical sign loses it immediately.
because it is purely non-local.
As such it is neither within nor with out a collection and both within and without a collection.
In other words it is irrelevant and misleading to try to frame That Which Gathers Together Into a Collection as a mathematical object.
The "I" is not an objective thing. It is empty of any essence or catagory.
It is not a non-local object to be quantified.
It is not the real line, just as the receeding horizon is not ground or the suface of the earth.
It's just an empty placeholder.
BTW Doron, in post 2880 you atribute a post The Man made to me. Again, I can never be sure I'm really communicating with you.
