The very nature of a point itself is where philosophers and
  physicists alike get all wonky and woozy. Yet it is akin to "How
  many angels can fit on the head of a pin?" For measure, you need
  points. For points, you need order. For order, you need measure
  and for measure you need order. They're conceptual requirements
  without which one can fly off into la-la-land like trying to
  find a fundamental fraction representing the square root of 2.
  It's not that a paradox lies at the heart of all things but
  rather that the nature of the things appear to have a minimum of
  3. You do not have a > you have a>b. Even if you bring the
  subjective into the equation, you have observer, observed and
  the act of observation. An equation.
