You're making a genetic fallacy here: that since the origin/ground of something has property C, it's product must have it too. This isnt so.

I agree that reality is fundamentally continuous. However cognition isnt; and many things arent.

A frequency is discrete. A length is continuous. These properties aren't eliminable for one another.

Here, whilst i'd agree that all physical process going on (everywhere) have essential continuous properties; they also have essential discrete ones. The issue is that grad. desc. alone does not give you the right kind of discrete ones.
