I humbly suggest that the name of this thread should be modified from "Obvious" Gaps etc to "Apparent" Gaps etc.
And at first glance, there do _appear_ to be some gaps in The Tech.
However--I humbly submit that there are NO gaps in The Tech, anywhere.
None. Anywhere. No gaps. Whatsoever. The Tech is gapless.
Any supposed gap in The Tech is purely imaginary! (Remember I said that.)
Google defines a gap as:
1. a break or hole in an object or between two objects.
2. an unfilled space or interval; a break in continuity.
A low place between two peaks of a mountain range is a gap. That's where engineers route a road across the range. If some improbable geological event caused the mountain range except for the gap to sink to sea level, then the former gap would then be the highest point and no longer a gap. It's then the high point of the terrain, and any new road would be routed around it. But notice that nothing changed about the ground of the roadway--unlike the rest of the hypothetical disappearing range, it remained unchanged, but stopped being a gap.
Get it? There is nothing about the terrain of the road that makes it a gap: What made it a gap was the peaks around it. To be an interruption or discontinuity, there has to be something to interrupt or discontinue. And the "something" doesn't have to be solid (or gas or liquid).
The American "Continents" (one land mass) is a gap between two oceans. One of those oceans is the gap between the Americas and Asia (and other stuff), and the other is a gap between the Americas and Europe and Africa (and other stuff). If the oceans disappeared, leaving one global land mass, the Americas would no longer be a gap. If the continents sank, the oceans would no longer be gaps.
A vally is a gap interrupting two mountain ranges: It interrupts what would otherwise be the same range.
A mountain range can be a gap between two plains: It interrupts what would otherwise be one large plains area.
Almost any mountain range is a gap in weather patterns: It interrupts the continuity of weather into two distinct systems.
Note here that the "something" being interrupted by the gap are not material, it is the pattern of movement, temperature, humidity, etc etc of material things. (Like wind is not air, it is the _movement_ of air.) But it is _real_, because it can be measured and observed and recorded. So it can define a gap in its continuity.
And that's what I'm getting at: Nothing about a mountain or ocean or continent or plains or pattern makes it a gap: What makes it a gap is what it interrupts. Without something to interrupt, there can be no gap.
Anybody see yet where I'm going with this?
The Tech isn't real. It doesn't exist. There is absolutely NO evidence that The Tech has a shred of substance to it. It has never been shown to produce any observable, recordable or measurable result. It exists only in the thoughts (imagination, fantasy, beliefs, dogma, opinions; whatever you want to call it) of those of us who have learned it.
So it made some of you/us feel better? So did a dream I had the other night. Aside from a warm fuzzy feeling the following day, my dream gave me a great idea for a story. A FICTION story. That I've been working on for a couple of days, just for fun. It's remotely possible that the story could change my life (if I were a real writer). And you know what? I never thought for a moment AFTER I woke up that there was anything _REAL_ about my dream. It existed only in my thoughts and memory of my thoughts. It's as fictitious as Scientology's "Tech".
But back to the point--since a gap has to be defined by what it interrupts, if you don't have something to interrupt, you can't have a gap. Any discontinuity in an imaginary "something"--is an imaginary gap.
Remember what I told you to remember I said? Any supposed gap in The Tech is purely imaginary!
