− | The difference map D''J'' can also be given a ''dispositional'' interpretation. First, recall that <math>\epsilon</math>''J'' exhibits the dispositions to change from anywhere in ''J'' to anywhere at all, and E''J'' enumerates the dispositions to change from anywhere at all to anywhere in ''J''. Next, observe that each of these classes of dispositions may be divided in accordance with the case of ''J'' versus (''J'') that applies to their points of departure and destination, as shown below. Then, since the dispositions corresponding to <math>\epsilon</math>''J'' and E''J'' have in common the dispositions to preserve ''J'', their symmetric difference (<math>\epsilon</math>''J'', E''J'') is made up of all the remaining dispositions, which are in fact disposed to cross the boundary of ''J'' in one direction or the other. In other words, we may conclude that D''J'' expresses the collective disposition to make a definite change with respect to ''J'', no matter what value it holds in the current state of affairs. | + | The difference map <math>\mathrm{D}J\!</math> can also be given a ''dispositional'' interpretation.

− | Let us venture a guess about where these developments might be heading. From the present vantage point, it appears that the ultimate answer to the quandary of distances and the question of a fitting measure may be that, rather than having the constitution of an analytic series depend on our familiar notions of approach, proximity, and approximation, it will be found preferable, and perhaps unavoidable, to turn the tables and let the orders of approximation be defined in terms of our favored and operative notions of formal analysis. Only the aftermath of this conversion, if it does converge, could be hoped to prove whether this hortatory form of analysis and the cohort idea of an analytic form — the limitary concept of a self-corrective process and the coefficient concept of a completable product — are truly (in practical reality) the more inceptive and persistent of principles and really (for all practical purposes) the more effective and regulative of ideas. | + | Let us venture a guess as to where these developments might be heading.
