And many foundations of geometry.

The discussion invokes circles, spheres, points, surfaces, and motion. Some classical demonstrations suppose that unlimited divisibility threatens particular geometric constructions or an account of uninterrupted motion.

One must distinguish a geometric idealization, an assertion about external bodies, and a theological conclusion. A geometric model establishes a claim about physical constitution only if the bridge between them is justified.
