[actually I find most comparisons of greater/lessor are often
far more fictional than fact with only the gloss of objectivity
to it] I understand, still,
the ultimate uniqueness of all 'stuff' kinda makes comparisons
something for human convenience/interest, but I don't believe
has much ultimate value.
Why?
Universe is at least 3D and spacetime. So is everything in it.
Even our number line. Our 1D, 2D stuff is really All
3D+spacetime. We can pretend those things are not true for ease
of manipulation but ultimately? all 3D+spacetime. Our computers
aren't nearly powerful enough for that though, so we play around
with flip/flop and excluded middle which causes problems when
one runs into the "inbetween" state. tongue emoticon
Computers have a VERY long way to go. You can also hash it to
give each a unique value. Your hash can even include spacetime
elements, IP address, geographical location on the planet, name
of sender, names of receivers, etc, all bundled up with the
instance of the usage of the words.
I kinda prefer that method of comparison. Keeps the uniqueness
of the exchange.
