The equi-partitioning is a very usual thing, about things like Jordan measure for the line-integral the line-elements of the line-integral and the path-integral, the equi-partitioning. Anyways, yeah you already said "extent" and "density" were so, about why the natural/unit equivalency function is a probabilistic distribution of the natural integers at uniform random. So, yeah, it conflicts with yourself, yet, that's what you said.
