And that's not what a "minimum length" in this case means. We're not talking about space having a minimum unit. We're talking, at best, about (presumably massive) objects having a minimum extension in space .

Even with a "minimum length" (in this specific sense), you have an object at position p, and can (move/observe) it at any p+dx continuously.

importantly, the question is whether the best theories of physics in a world with a minimum extension-in-space require continuous mathematics, and there's nothing about this plank length to suggest they wouldnt
