Tim,
A remarkable rarity: we agree in almost all
counts.
Upon what you remarked, maybe "entirety" IS
better than (a?) wholeness, because it only points to "wholeness" (ha ha)
without implying that "it is ONE whole unit. The "entirety" of sand (particles)
on a beach is not a wholeness. I have to think about it.
What is that "T" you mention as food for
Descartes? The original short form is pretentious. Know-it-all. Ex cathedra.
This is why I like the 'long' form: "I assume that... Are we sure of
anything?
On RR measurement: you made my day, thanks.
There is a bit of difference: I did not think of abstracting the measurable into
a mere number (of measuremenet), only to the ONE aspec we measure. If I measure
the 'length' of my shoe, it still may smell.
Have a good one

PS I don't know Greek, but heard 'noumena' as
plurlar, with singular (a) noumenon. I am also abhorred to read "a
data",
the plural of (a) datum. But that is Latin, what
I learned. - J
