In the swansong of modern math lines are composed of points. But then
we must ask how points are defined? However I seem to recollect
intersections of lines determine points. But if so then we are left to
consider the rather peculiar proposition that lines are composed of
the intersection of lines. Now I don't claim the foregoing definitions
are circular. Only that the ratio of definitional logic to conclusions
is a transcendental somewhere in the neighborhood of 3.14159 . . .

You should ask me.
