Continuity

Continuity is pure quantity as flowing, uninterrupted coherence. It is indivisible, homogeneous, without discrete units — pure extension. Example: the number line as a continuum (between two numbers there is always another). Continuity and discreteness are the double structure of quantity: the continuous contains the discrete (is divisible), the discrete presupposes continuity (units touch). The mathematical problem of the continuum: is the line made of points? Hegel: the continuum is the processual unity of these moments.
