All mathematical points have the same reality - Ostronomos - Dec 29, 2017
This is due to the fact that points are identical, 0-dimensional objects that fit equivalently into all universes or sets.

Is this an argument supporting the notion that something always was (i.e. God)? (I mean the idea you can't have one dimension unless there's a zero dimension, so it's one dimension from zero, two dimensions from one, etc.)
