Can you provide a definition of what it means for a set C to be "a
line of some sort, with a real measure of length"?

E A (endpoints)

I don't understand your terminology. Do you mean that there exists a
function A which has as domain of some set of which "endpoints" is a
member? What is "endpoints"? Do you presume it is an arbitrary set of
pairs in R^2? What then is the value of A(endpoints)? Is it a real
number, or some other thing?

Gee, the way you snipped that in isolation, it makes as little sense as you
make it out to. Now, go back to the original post, and see if that part in
parentheses isn't a comment on those first two lines. Notice that 's' at the
end of "endpoint"? In English, when we append 's' to a noun, that's the usual
way we pluralize so it refers to more than one. So that would be referring to
more than one endpoint, and obviously doesn't refer to just A. It's a comment,
otherwise there wouldn't be a space before the parentheses.
