It's my private 'misery' that I find language 'inadequate' [perhaps
I'm insufficiently literate?]
In this instance, in my view, physical reality is continuous. Matter
exists as a consequence of continuous energy-thresholding dynamics.
So, since everything's continuous, using the term "point" is
inherently artificial.
All my use of single quotes involves analogous 'struggling' with
'language' on my part.
Cheers, Didier. ken
