To follow
One is a concept.
An idea.
Its reality is in the realm of Space-Time function.
The invention of the numeral or concept of one dates to early history of man kind and served its purpose to satisfactory degree since then.
However, what is one exactly? Then one will be confronted with all source of difficulty. The most common one was at the time of Albert Gore and George primary in the state of Florida and counting shreds or punched holes over and over again. Granted counting is more nightmare than just simple definition of one. The Supreme Court soon ordered stop counting and it is over.
This leads us to the concept of one and it is not absolutely defined.
Take a one car with four wheels then take one wheel off. Is it still a one car? Yes or No are the only two options. Take two wheels off. Is it still a one car? Take the four wheels, is it still a one car?
On and on, take the Engine off, Is it still a one car? take ... etc? Is it still a one car? Now, when it stops to be one car? Not clear.
Take a 100 Dollars bill. Cut small part of the bill is it still one 100 dollar bill? take another small part of the bill is it still one 100 dollar bill? So forth and on till it is very small piece. small part of the bill is it still one 100 dollar bill?
Then when it is not a one hundred dollar bill?
Do the same routine for one sheet of paper and start cutting pieces? when it is no longer one sheet of paper.
Many, many other examples can be presented. So the concept of one is not absolutely defined with all certainty in all cases. Still we live it to large extent successfully.
What exactly, one day?, one month, one year, one century?
When a car in assembly line become one car?
When a growing plant become a tree? One tree?
When a growing boy become a man? One man?
When a growing girl becoming a woman? One woman?
