What's a point?

Euclid writes that a point is that which has no part.

Well if something has no parts, it cannot be divided into other parts… and if it cannot be divided into any other parts, because it doesn’t exist?

Another definition suggests that a point is the point from which magnitude increases. In astronomy, magnitude means brightness. In mathematics, magnitude means size. In seismology — energy.

Could it be said that a point is nothing unless the person receiving the point assigns an amount energy/value/size/importance to that point?

What is the point of this post? To some it might be nothing… but to me, it’s that a point, like art, matters in the eye of the beholder.

What's it all about?
