whence did you learn this idiom of "the meet language"???

i have working definitions of line, point, etc.. in terms of dimensions. but I have some issues with the precise definition of "dimension" due to having picked up the concept of "density". I cannot say what's the difference between density and dimension

Meet here is shorthand the comment author is using for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_and_meet

You should read it as: "the largest group of properties that both languages agree about said abstractly defined mathematical object."

  • chuckle thanks for this heroic effort to charitably interpret me as actually being able to type in a coherent sentence :-)

    But, alas, I was just trying to type in "meta" and it was auto-completed to "meet". I really, really, hate autocomplete.

sigh I really hate autocorrect. It was supposed to be "meta", not "meet".

It's bad enough that most of the content I read these days is being generated by LLMs. Slowly and inexorably, even the content I write is being written and overwritten by LLMs.
