I'm having difficulty with the first step.
If a point has 0 diameter, I presume that it exists outside the realm of higher dimensions? Otherwise, isn't each point itself an infinite set of points?
The point we start from is of indeterminate size, that's not the same thing as having 0 diameter. Indeterminate means all possible values have validity. Still, an electron is a point-like particle of zero dimensions, with no internal structure. And yet electrons exist quite happily within our world, wouldn't you agree?
