among american interstate boundaries
excluding or ignoring azco & nmut
i think depa must be the shortest
& moreover it cant be fractally inflated
since it is entirely comprised of geometric lines
so i think you should be satisfied with that one at least craig
however for longest interstate boundary
the best available truth appears to be that the fractal principle
would actually make all river boundaries stretch into the same
condition of indeterminacy as we have observed for oktx
so all such river boundaries must be considered equally long
all appearances to the contrary notwithstanding
with their supposed or apparent length depending only on how
carefully they are measured
if all are measured with equal & consistent care
a fair proviso under the circumstances
then all bulges bends oxbows etc of the same size would be
measured equally or equally disregarded on all boundaries
right down to the molecular level i suppose
& in practical reality
such conscientious measuring
besides being impossible
would quickly lead to the realization that canv cant be surpassed
in length without somehow stretching or bending the truth
i grant that one may be a bit harder to be satisfied with tho
