Order as in "first, second, third", whereas counting is "none, one, two".
This is not a formal distinction, it is a conceptual one for things (not mathematical models).
- jonahx 2y agoThought about this a bit more... Not sure if this is what you're saying, but the concept of "space between" I alluded to seems to arise naturally whenever you have ordered items, and vice versa. Because once you have order you have the concepts "greater than"/"less than", and once you have that you have a border between your items, and your items are between those borders. This connects back to Dijkstra's consideration of <, <=, etc....
- pfortuny 2y agoYep, same idea.
