Auffray: Space and Time

Zitat

“[W]e presented a System of the World in which an active principle, the Xon, generates Space and Time by ‚occurring‘ in a substrate made up of i-points bearing no geometric relations of distance or proximity with each other—in brief, which do not constitute a continuum.” (p. 1427) #Auffray #Xon #space #time #continuum

Auffray: Spacetime and Continuity

Zitat

“Further on in this paper we investigate the significance of the concept of continuity, concluding that it should not be retained as a fundamental characteristic of space in general and of spacetime(s) in particular.” (p. 1428) #Auffray #continuity #spacetime
