The "object sense" is to be cultivated, with regards to Zeno,
as the classical exposition of continuous and infinitely-divisible
quantities, in time, the universal parameter of the continuous
and infinitely-divisible, quantities.

The "object sense", is a complement to the usual phenomenological
senses or Sens which comprise the detecters of observables, to
extend it merely to the notion of reason and rationality of the
numbers the infinite and infinitely-divisible, numbers, of a
continuum, as with regards to individua and continua, a continuum.

So, the "word sense", "number sense", object sense, as making
for a "continuum sense" and a sense of _time_, is this minimal
sort of apparatus, then, to equip phenomenology, with this
rational sense, of otherwise the "apeiron" of the infinite
a plain true rational real infinite numbers.

Consider d'Espagnat and his philosophy of physics and the
position of realism as with regards to the modern day and
the Aspect-type experiments and otherwise that since Fresnel
and Huygens at least light was waves and optical not merely
geometric, that equipping the model physicist with a merest
object-sense with one real infinity, changes the entire picture.
