Jerry, a 'late' reply to a sideline (picking nits?) 
Let me interpose my lines into your text, please

JM: 'endpoint' is a result, (ssumed to be stable?) and
a trajectory is what we assume as the event of the
model we observe. Movements? does anything move, or is
it observable now here, then there? In between? It is
the eternal question of continuity vs discrete states.
I am for the former, because the discrete states are
in eternal change (Oh, that word aygain!) Nothing
stops in nature, nothing returns (no reversibility,
because by the 'time' you want to 'reverse' it, you
find a changed nature).

JM: please, do not mix the language mathematics - an
unlimited natural system translated into human logic -
with the "APPLIED" mathematics, when such language is
applied for calculations within limited (incomplete)
models with their limited (cut to incompletion)
values.
Nobody in sciences observes nature, only the models. 
We cannot fathom the unlimited variables and
impredicative predicates at the present state of our
mind.
