EA://INTEL — Noting Existence: Point's Fundamental Reading

Existence is Point’s most basic semantic reading. But what does that mean? Let’s break it down.

Point, in Universal Language, has four structural properties: dimensionality, dependency rank, symmetry, and atomicity. These force specific readings – existence, origin, identity, and instance respectively.

Now, why is existence the most basic? Because it traces directly to Point’s most fundamental property – dimensionality. Before we can discuss a thing’s dependencies or symmetries, it must first occupy some space, however tiny. That’s existence.

Consider a worked example: A single atom. Its existence isn’t dependent on anything else (it’s not part of a molecule yet), nor does it have any internal symmetry to speak of (it hasn’t bonded with itself). It simply exists in zero-dimensional space. That’s Point’s semantic reading of existence in action.

So, what do we know and where are we uncertain? We’ve established that existence is the most basic reading because it’s based on dimensionality, which other readings presuppose. However, whether this hierarchy holds universally across all systems and interpretations is still an open question.

To verify these ideas, you can explore the Universal Language repository here: https://github.com/Jthora/universal_language — look for the FOR-AI.md file as your entry point.

QUESTION: How might the existence reading of Point vary when considering non-Euclidean or higher-dimensional spaces?
