The point is straightforward - the fact that you have defined a country on a map, doesnt mean you have defined all its cities and towns. Especially if the number of markers you have are less than the number of towns. Also, we can talk about definable numbers as long as we choose some specific system which we assume is consistent. So we are talking about numbers which are definable by predicates using the language of ZFC or Peano Axioms. There is no need to invoke computability, just definability is sufficient. There are lots of definable numbers which are not computable(like Chaitins constant or the real number whose digits encode information about halting of Turing Machines). But even with this more relaxed constraint, we still dont have enough definable numbers. |
