You might argue, “It is not the coarse entities that meet. Rather, the infinitesimal particles meet.” Infinitesimal particles do not interpenetrate these very infinitesimal particles, because it is you hearers who assert the nature of these infinitesimal particles as follows: They lack any free space or volume and they are uniform, that is, partless units. Hence, just like water in water, without one [particle] interpenetrating into the other, there is no intermingling, and without intermingling, there is no contact in the sense of touching [each other] everywhere.1698When the text says here “coming into contact,” this refers to all-inclusive mutual contact in all dimensions. If infinitesimal particles [or anything else, for that matter] were to touch like two folded hands, they would come into contact on just the palm sides, but not on the back sides, for example. Consequently, they would not be partless. Moreover, one could not say that the two particles—or hands—have contact, since only one of their respective sides—the palm side—has contact. Thus, in order to have full mutual contact on all sides, the parti-cles would have to completely interpenetrate each other. This is not possible either, since they are all equal in having no spatial extension whatsoever that could accommodate something else inside. For this reason, they cannot intermingle; i.e., they could at most exist side by side with-out overlapping. Strictly speaking, their very quality of being partless and dimensionless excludes any contact at all [let alone 100 percent mutual contact], since they do not have the slighest surface that could have contact.
