How far is it from point A to point B?

I've often thought about that. Seems to me you cannot have a 'point A and a point B' alone. Because as points there's no way to measure their separation.

A dimensionless point has no dimensions in itself. In a surroundings lacking dimensions there's nothing we can say in terms of dimension.

Given a third point we can start measuring. That third point could be part of the first point if it is given dimensions, thickness, height, width...

Then the distance from A to B becomes in terms of A the number of times you can divide the width of A into the interval.

Hence the need for three. Three is the smallest number.

I think it's time to close this thread as the contributions become more and more meaningless and tend towards unsubstantial speculations.
