I think the ultimate answer to *"When does a part stop being a fragment?" *may be "when the fragment is Indivisible.".
Of course, that depends on the tools at one's disposal. I recall Physics teachers explaining that Electrons,Neutrons and Protons were called "sub-atomic" part-icles because the prior generation though that the Atom was the smallest, indivisible object. And as an engineer, I was taught that the difference between analog signals (messy Fourrier wholes) and digiat signals was that, in the digital realm, there were only 0 and 1. Now, with Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computing, I am only *probably *sure I can say "I think, therefore I am.". In the scope and context of TiddlyWiki, I have come to appreciate that *a Character is the smallest practical Part* (glibly over-looking that there are 4 bits to a Nibble and 2 Nibbles to a Byte and as many as possible 2^31 characters in the UniCode character set). For me, that makes a unicode character the smallest possible fragment. I am also relatively certain that, since a Character is Indivisible, it can only be divided by 1 or itself ... which is really neat since it means Characters are like Prime numbers! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
