“Brouwer's remark is simple but deep: we have here the creation of the "continuum," which, although containing individual real numbers, does not dissolve into a set of real numbers as finished beings; we rather have a medium of free Becoming. We found ourselves in the domain of an ageold problem of thought, the problem of continuity, of change, and of Becoming.”
Hermann Weyl, The Continuum: A Critical Examination of the Foundation of Analysis
