Yes, I think we agree here. But I must admit, I am at a loss as to imagine what non-discrete might be.

Why?

If we cannot formally implement "fluid" or "continuum", then these will forever be out of our reach. We might as well give up.

We may have *descriptions* of the continuum. But they are just descriptions... and remain, finite.

I stand by my original claim:

Any successful human Theory of Everything must recognize the discrete nature of the human intellect, and our inability to express or engage the continuum in any meaningful way.
