Could you explain what you mean by this? I read this group mainly to
learn more about how people think and the above statement mystifies me.

Consider this: I by a board at the lumber store, take it home, and use
it for a room addition project. Then I measure it's heigth.. Do I
measure 8 feet or 2 inches? That depends whether I installed the board
in a wall or in the foundation. So even in Euclidian geometery, an
object's measured dimensions depend on the arbitrary choice of a
coorindate system. Doews that create two different realities, one
where the board is 8 feet higha nd one where the board is 2 inches high?
