Continuum (measurement)

Continuum theories or models explain variation as involving gradual quantitative transitions without abrupt changes or discontinuities. In contrast, categorical theories or models explain variation using qualitatively different states. (Wikipedia).

The Continuum Hypothesis

Should the power class of any non-empty set even be a set? It's not in constructive Zermelo-Fraenkel, but once you add the Axiom of Choice you end up in ZFC where you have to assign it a cardinal number. But then, well-orderings on something like the reals provably exist that are not descr
