Exactly just as a bound line segment has some finite length. However, the sum of an infinite number of such segments or an infinite number of times around that circumference is an infinite length. Given Doron's propensity for continually going around in circles, one might have thought that this would be obvious to him.

I am talking about a one and only one "around the closed curve".

If the collection of points is finite, then each point is both a beginning and end along a closed curve.

If the collection of points is infinite, then each point is only a beginning along a closed curve.

Your understanding of pointless closed curve as a finite length clearly demonstrates your inability to grasp the notion of actual infinity as a non-local atom (and a pointless closed curve is exactly actual infinity).

Please show us how each one of 1,2,3,4,5,6,8 (by the way, order has no significance here) is not both a beginning and end along a closed curve.

It is quite amazing that you can't get such a simple fact.


And please show us why this is not limited to a finite set.

Again cardinality one is not less than a dot along a closed curve.
The meaning of this sentence is virtually identical to $20 is not less than a jacket in the store. Did you really mean, "Again cardinality one is not less than a dot along a closed curve," or was it meant to say that cardinality one is not less than cardinality of a dot along a closed curve?

Wanna take a shot at this?

1) POINT is to CIRCLE as DOT is to C______?

or

2) CIRCLE is to POINT as DOT is to C______?

No one could make the right choice with justification. So be the first one.

Well that is simply your limitation.


If the collection of points is finite, then each point is both a beginning and end along a closed curve.

If the collection of points is infinite, then each point is only a beginning along a closed curve.

The collection of points represented by a “closed curve” is infinite, even though the length of that curve may be finite. If you think not then start listing them for some defined close curve and then show us that you have them all listed.


Your understanding of pointless closed curve as a finite length clearly demonstrates your inability to grasp the notion of actual infinity as a non-local atom (and a pointless closed curve is exactly actual infinity).

Your “closed curve” “model” is not “pointless” remember.

Where did I ever say anything about a “pointless closed curve as a finite length”?

Are you just going to start attributing whatever claim suits you to someone else? Oh wait that just another part of you modus operandi.

“It is quite amazing that you can't get such a simple fact”.

Are you claiming now that your OM can not deal with simple ordered and linear relations like that of an interval?

ETA:
Doron can your ‘closed curve model’ be discontinuous (have gaps) and still be ‘closed’?

I didn’t have time to completely address this before but will now.

So Doron you are deliberately limiting your consideration of “complete” to “one and only one "around the closed curve", (a finite number of revolutions) to claim that no infinite collection (of even revolutions) is complete?

If one revolution is complete how is two revolutions not complete, or 3, 4, 5, or an infinite number or revolutions?

Deliberately limiting your “complete” to some finite value, specifically 1, (like your one dimensional “endless atomic straight line”) is just another contrivance on your part and makes your OM rather ineffective in considering “complete” any rotation of more than just, well, one.

Also your “0 < ∞\0 < ∞” is specifically an ordered relationship. If you consider it “complete” by your “definition” where you specifically claim “order has no significance here” then your required ordered relationship simply disappears.

At this fundamental level we care only about the distinction of each point, along the closed curve, from any other point in a given collection of points.

By consider only this fundamental term, order has no significance here.
Also your “0 < ∞\0 < ∞” is specifically an ordered relationship. If you consider it “complete” by your “definition” where you specifically claim “order has no significance here” then your required ordered relationship simply disappears.
0 alone or ∞ alone are beyond the given model of distinct points along a closed curve. By this model only Complexity (∞\0) is considered, so your reply about this particular subject is irrelevant.

According to these initial terms (where only Complexity (∞\0) is considered) any arbitrary distinct point is both a beginning and end along a closed curve only if we deal with a finite collection.

If the collection of distinct points along the closed curve is infinite, then each arbitrary distinct point of that collections is only a beginning point.

As a result any given infinite collection along a closed curve is incomplete, according to definition A, which states that:

A non-empty collection is considered as complete if each element of it is both the beginning and the end of this collection (a complete complex is not actual completeness, as found by the actual finite or inifinte aspects of the atomic state).

The inability of any arbitrary distinct point along the closed curve, to be both a beginning and end along a closed curve determines the considered collection as an incomplete collection.

Doron can your ‘closed curve model’ be discontinuous (have gaps) and still be ‘closed’?

The closeness of a non-local aspect of the atomic state (which is pointless, and therefore has no beginning and no end) has nothing to do with any collection of local aspects (points) of the atomic state along it.

Your understanding of "continuum" is closed under Complexity and as a result you do not understand actual continuum, which is exactly the non-local aspect of the atomic state.

EDIT:

By getting these fundamental notions we immediately understand the following:

1) The term “all” is relevant only to finite collections.

2) Cardinality is satisfied only if the term “all” is a property of a given collection.

3) The Cardinality of an infinite collection is unsatisfied.

4) The cardinality of the collection of all collections that are not elements of themselves (according to (1) it is a finite collection) , is not satisfied, because we can’t determine if the collection is one of its own elements or not.

5) Both (3) and (4) have unsatisfied Cardinalities.

6) According to (5), Russell’s Paradox is the result of the misunderstanding of the concept of completeness, which is actual by nature (actual finite or actual infinite), and can’t be found under Complexity (∞\0).

7) The term “all” is relevant only to a finite complex, and has nothing to do with the actual aspects (finite or infinite) of the atomic state.

You are invited to show us that any arbitrary element of an infinite collection of distinct points (their order has no significance) along a closed curve, is both a beginning and an end of this infinite collection of distinct points.
 
I clearly said "." along a closed curve, has cardinality 1 (we have a complex).

"." alone has cardinality 0 (we do not have a complex).
When you refer to ".", are you referring to a single point? What is the cardinality of two dots?

How {} has cardinality of zero?
Because there are no elements in the set.
Again cardinality one is not less than a dot along a closed curve.

What does that mean? "Not less than a dot"?

If the collection of distinct points along the closed curve is infinite, then each arbitrary distinct point of that collections is only a beginning point.

What do you mean, 'if'? Are you choosing a subset of the points along the closed curve? If so, how? Or are you claiming that there is only a finite set of points which exist on the curve? If so, please give a list of all the points on the curve, or the method by which you determine them.

Of course points-wise you would have it incomplete. Infinity that way must always be "incomplete."

Any complex is incomplete w.r.t its actual building-blocks.
 
At this fundamental level we care only about the distinction of each point along the closed curve, from any other point, in a given collection of points.

By consider only this fundamental term, order has no significance here.


“At this fundamental level” your ‘closed curve model’ does not consider your ‘starting point’ to be ‘distinct’ from your ‘end point’ (or any other points as you claim they can all be your ‘starting/end point’) so ordering is the only way to get your so called “distinction” of your points at your so called “fundamental level” of your "complete" "closed curve" .

0 alone or ∞ alone are beyond the given model of distinct points along a closed curve. By this model only Complexity (∞\0) is considered, so your reply about this particular subject is irrelevant.

So your “0 < ∞\0 < ∞” is not “complete” by your given “definition” of “complete” or do you just consider it so without it meeting your ‘complete definition’?

According to these initial terms (where only Complexity (∞\0) is considered) any arbitrary distinct point is both a beginning and end along a closed curve only if we deal with a finite collection.

Your points are not “distinct” by what you ‘define’ as a “complete” “finite collection”.

If the collection of distinct points along the closed curve is infinite, then each arbitrary distinct point of that collections is only a beginning point.

The "collection of distinct points along" any “closed curve is infinite” so your “definition” of “complete” fails.

As a result any given infinite collection along a closed curve is incomplete, according to definition A, which states that:

A non-empty collection is considered as complete if each element of it is both the beginning and the end of this collection.

Again, the failure is in your “definition” of “complete” not in an infinite collection being complete.

The inability of any arbitrary distinct point along the closed curve, to be both a beginning and end along a closed curve determines the considered collection as an incomplete collection.

Again the points along your “complete” “closed curve” are not distinct by your “definition” of “complete” without ordering distinction. (must be one of your hidden assumptions).


The closeness of a non-local aspect of the atomic state (which is pointless, and therefore has no beginning and no end) has nothing to do with any collection of local aspects (points) of the atomic state along it.

Indeed your “atomic state” remains, well, pointless. So now your “local aspects (points)” are not “atomic”?

Your understanding of "continuum" is closed under Complexity and as a result you do not understand actual continuum, which is exactly the non-local aspect of the atomic state.


A continuum is, well, continuous so again…


Doron can your ‘closed curve model’ be discontinuous (have gaps) and still be ‘closed’

You do remember those gaps you claim are not covered by points on your “endless atomic straight line” that you want to shove your “non-local” numbers into, don’t you?

You might try actually answering the question this time instead of your usual “closed under Complexity” labeling dodge.
 
When you refer to ".", are you referring to a single point? What is the cardinality of two dots?

Again, please think about a necklace, which is not less than a point AND a closed curve.

This necklace with a single point along it is a collection of Cardinality 1.

A point alone (which is not a necklace) has cardinality 0

A closed curve alone (which is not a necklace) has cardinality ∞

Exactly.

And this is why your reasoning is invalid, because you can't distinguish between the actual and the complex (which is potential w.r.t the actual).

I'm not sure of the relevance of the necklace reference, but it's good to see you now realize a curve has an infinite number of points.

You can put the distinct elements of a given collection in any arbitrary order along the closed curve.

Since your comprehension problem persists, let me make it easier for you.

X is your ‘staring/ending’ point.

X =X

All ‘staring/ending’ points and thus all points are the same by your ‘complete closed curve definition’.

Thus nothing can distinguish one of your ‘staring/ending’ points form another . You can mix them up in “any arbitrary order along the closed curve” and call them whatever you want. The only thing that distinguish one location (or point) “along” your “closed curve” from another is the ordering “along the closed curve”.

“It is quite amazing that you can't get such a simple fact.”

ETA:

The only way you can claim that X1≠X2 with any validity is by ordering (that little subscript in case you missed or don‘t comprehend it)

zooterkin, you do not understand the difference between the potential (∞\0 , which is not less AND no more then a complex and has cardinality > 0 and < ∞) and the actual, which is a point alone (cardinality 0) or a closed curve alone (cardinality ∞).

No The Man. It holds only in the case of a single point along the closed curve.



X is a "single point along the closed curve".

X1 is also a "single point along the closed curve" as is X2. It is just that X1 is a different “single point along the closed curve” than X2 as defined by, well, ordering.

You still have that comprehension problem.

You are using Xn where n=1,2,3 ...

But this is your limitation because n values can appear in any arbitrary way.

For example n=31,2,147 ... along the closed curve, where all we care is the difference of each n value from any other n value, along the closed curve.

The minimal form of actual infinity.

No, I use each one of (for example) the natural numbers, where each n is a unique point along the closed curve.

You are invited to show us that any arbitrary element of an infinite collection of distinct points (their order has no significance) along a closed curve, is both a beginning and an end of this infinite collection of distinct points.


More invitations to do your work, I see. You made the claim; it is up to you to support it.

As I said Doron

You can mix them up in “any arbitrary order along the closed curve” and call them whatever you want. The only thing that distinguish one location (or point) “along” your “closed curve” from another is the ordering “along the closed curve”.


You can ignore anything you want Doron, including that points along your “closed curve” are ordered (one between two others X1, X2, X3….). Changing that ordering around, or more specifically simply changing the ordering of your labeling, X3, X1, X2, does not make them any less ordered as one between two others. Without that ordering of one between two others you no longer have your “closed curve”.


For example n=31,2,147 ... along the closed curve, where all we care is the difference of each n value from any other n value, along the closed curve.

No Doron all you “care is the difference of each n value from any other n value, along the closed curve”. So tell us how many n values will you need for you to label each of the points on your “closed curve” in whatever order you want?

"How many" has nothing to do with the order of these many.

Now we learn the you also do not distinguish between Ordinal and Cardinal.

The rest of your replies is based on this indistinguishability.

Without that ordering of one between two others you no longer have your “closed curve”.
Worng.

One between two others can be found only among a finite amount of distinct points along a closed curve, such that any arbitrary distinct point of that collection is both a beginning AND an end point of the considered collection.

This is not the case with an infinite collection along a closed curve (a closed curve is definable even if not a single point is found along it), where each arbitrary distinct point of that infinite collection is exactly a beginning point of that infinite collection.

Again Doron it is the boundary of that "infinite collection of distinct points" if it was not a single point boundary your curve would not be, well, "closed".

Worng.

The closeness of a curve has nothing to do with the sub-things that may be found along it, because a closed curve is a non-local aspect of the atomic state.

Doron can your ‘closed curve model’ be discontinuous (have gaps) and still be ‘closed’?
Yes.

For example:

Each ≠ between any distinct pair of points is not any of these points, and therefore it is considered as uncovered by these points.

In the case of a finite collection of points along a closed curve, there are finitely many uncovered ≠, which is a fact that enables each point of a given finite collection to be both a beginning AND an end of the considered collection.

In the case of an infinite collection of points along a closed curve, there are infinitely many uncovered ≠, which is a fact that prevents each point of a given infinite collection to be both a beginning AND an end of the considered collection.

No zooterkin, you are dodging the answer.

Please thing about the concept of Collection.

0 alone is less than collection (it is like a bead-only state).

∞ alone is more than collection (it is like a string-only state).

∞\0 is collection (it is like a necklace state).

The Cardinality of the states mentioned above is:

0 (less than collection) < ∞\0 (collection) < ∞ (more than collection).

So, what is the cardinality of two dots?

How do you get less than an infinite number of points on a closed curve? Are you saying there is only a finite number, or that you are considering only a subset of the infinite number of points?

What exactly is ∞\0 supposed to represent? What does the \ mean?

Cardinalities 1 and 2 are under ∞\0 (necklace state).

When I say "You" ( http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5474317&postcount=7827) in this case, I mean the majority of the community of currently active mathematicians, where you, jsfisher, is one of them.

According the You (the majority of the community of currently active mathematicians), “pure” mathematics is Deductive and context-dependent frameworks that are generally disjoint of each other (there is no common basis to “pure” mathematics according to the current paradigm of the majority of the community of currently active mathematicians).

If you, jsfisher, as a "pure" mathematician, disagree with this paradigm, then I am apologise in front of you only if you rigorously provide the needed evidence, which clearly shows that Contemporary “pure” Mathematics indeed has a concrete common basis (a “trunk).
