If a parameter such as x in (7.71) is continuous, there are other operations of the group 'as close as one likes' to any given operation; in 'epsilontic' language, we must be able to write T(x + ε) → T(x) as ε → 0. (7.76)

I had been sick, but now I'm well.

1. There really is just one concrete particular, viz., the whole universe (the blobject).
2. The blobject has enormous spatiotemporal structural complexity, and enormous local variability, even though it does not have any genuine parts.
