I’m arguing for discrete mathematics in physics because it better represents (I think/wonder) the physical universe and doesn’t suffer from loss of fidelity as you point out. Maybe it’s just the vocabulary that’s limiting, but then I’d still argue for a system with appropriately rich vocabulary.

So write all of your maths in terms of Planck values.

  I think it would be a cool project to try and express all of the applied math physics uses as operations on discrete Planck-sized values (so just normalize that to be the unit), yeah.

    What is the fundamental unit of velocity? Wavelength?
