kontent - the pattern in the investigation of matter has been 
the explanation of diverse substances as combinations of a number 
of simpler substances. diversity of form replaces diversity of substance. 

as more precise utensils are utilized it bekomes evident that 
there are more types of building blocks than initially suspekted.
this is the phase which high energy physics has entered.

splitting particles indefinitely one arrives at the conclusion
that there is only form - no kontent. the various features of the world
are explained in terms of the geometry of space time - geometrodynamic
viewpoint.

if 2 clicks happen close enough in time they cannot be distinguished.
if a spot of ink is sufficiently small one can no longer see it.
hume - treatise of human nature [1739]
 
`put a spot of ink upon paper. fix your eye upon that spot.
 and retire to such a distance that at last you lose sight of it.
 `tis plain that the moment before it vanished the image or impression was
 perfektly indivisible`


space time = supplemented by 1 addtl dimension - scale
