“That process…starts upon the supposition that when you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

  • E.g., Xeno’s paradox is resolved by seeing what happens in reality. The explanations shouldn’t use the number of points that are an uncountable infinity.
    • The error here is in conflating two separate phenomena (mathematical abstract infinity and physical infinity) that happen to have the same name
      • 12-1f 言葉と物事の関係性が一対である必要性はない (e.g., 二項同体)
