note 224

Zeno’s paradox (called the theory of limits in mathematics) states that you can never move from here to there because you can only get halfway, then halfway and halfway, etc. Mathematics can solve this, so can common sense. This is also true of mediated presences. Brenda Laurel argues that when one is in mediated presence, things only get real once one traverses Zeno’s paradox (Laurel 1993, 21)
