<div id="ygrps-yiv-1321709885">another interesting & very substantial agreement  david<br/>
& i think we benefit greatly also from having these 2 different viewpoints<br/>
<br/>
in fact i so appreciate what i take to be your purely topological & set<br/>
theory approach to the bookkeeping  that i seem to have adopted it also for<br/>
keeping track precisely of the politically disparate but mereotopologically<br/>
equivalent members of my more inclusive roster  & of the sets i am<br/>
considering generally<br/>
in a world where it is the routine rather than the unthinkable exception<br/>
for parts to combine with the wholes of which they are part<br/>
  as do the dc tripoint constituents for example<br/>
or even for a whole to combine & recombine with other primary<br/>
manifestations of itself<br/>
  as in various north canadian trifederal subdivisional points<br/>
or  wilder yet  when such a triferderalness then clones 17 times<br/>
as appears to have actually happened last year along the northwest &<br/>
nunavut territorial coasts  where the canadian count of major subdivisional<br/>
multipoints was more than doubled in a single new boundary line last year<br/>
<br/>
or so it appears in my left minds eye  while in my right minds eye i<br/>
imagine lucky you just counting up zero triprovincials for canada & calling<br/>
it a day<br/>
& of course both views are equally true but truer together than separately<br/>
<br/>
i would say then  if 65 then 83  but  if 61 then 61  to be sure<br/>
& i would keep both 83 & 61<br/>
just as i would say  for canada  if 4 then probably 32  but  if 0 then 0<br/>
& then keep both 32 & 0<br/>
<br/>
but i think 65  like 4  tho obvious  is in the end hard to maintain<br/>
<br/>
in this i think i have just started out as a strictly mereotopological<br/>
punctologist studying multisubdivisional points generally while you are<br/>
training me to also be a perhaps less punctological mereotopologist in<br/>
focusing more on the facts & nicetries of conjunction than just on the<br/>
points of conjunction themselves<br/>
<br/>
i find this dichotomy is already extremely useful for balancing thought<br/>
processes but i fancy it will soon be doing yeoman to superhuman work in<br/>
simplifying & tracking some of the more staggering complexities of the<br/>
world class<br/>
<br/>
so thank you for understanding & bearing with me all this time<br/>
<br/>
i think the real caper may just be beginning now<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
& you are right also that tho pa & ct are technically coastal they are both<br/>
prevented by the narrowness of their access to the sea from ever reaching<br/>
the 3 mile limit or rather vice versa<br/>
as is nicely shown for ct at<br/>

& as will then be fairly obvious for pa too</div>
