But as I said, if new points are constantly being made at an accelerating rate in that "finite" universe then you're going to run out of those finite labels. > *nothing whatsoever about having only a finite set of distinguishable > labels......* > Nothing whatsoever? He specifically said a "range of coordinate values to *label* all the points". And if a label isn't distinguishable then it isn't a label.
