Continuous Hierarchy, a new definition

So I don't think that set membership should be a quality of continuous hierarchy. Instead continuous hierarchy should be more like exploration. You wander around a "space" and find elements, without any set boundaries. There is no membership in sets. Sets are abstractions which don't belong in continuous hierarchy. What there is is relativity. You place elements relative to each other, not on coordinates like in a set or not in a set. The location of each element is uncertain, as well as the velocity.

Now how does this relate to speech? A sentence is a landscape of information.
