Extensionless

/ɪkˈstɛnʃənləs/ adjective

Definition

Having no extension; lacking spatial dimensions or scope; not extended in space or time.

Etymology

From 'extension' plus '-less', meaning without. This creates a paradoxical concept often discussed in philosophy and mathematics.

Kelly Says

Mathematicians and philosophers love pondering 'extensionless' things like points (no size), instants (no duration), or abstract ideas—they're useful concepts even though they can't physically exist in the real world!
