Abstract

Even if ideas of measurement did not exist, a great deal of the simple mechanical and electromagnetic structure of the physical world could be understood. To see how this can be so, the orthodox ideas of the relationship of mathematics to physics are inadequate. In this paper a development of this fundamental non-metrical physics is made to depend on a different view of this relationship.
