Now in space there is nothing real that is at the same time simple; for points, which are the only simple things in space, are merely limits, but not constituent parts of space.

 NEED SOME MONEY? TIRED OF YOUR JOB?  But to determine a priori an intuition in space (its figure), to divide time into periods, or merely to cognize the quantity of an intuition in space and time, and to determine it by number--all this is an operation of reason by means of the construction of conceptions, and is called mathematical. But things in space and time are given only in so far as they are perceptions (representations accompanied with sensation), therefore only by empirical representation. But being merely sensuous intuitions, in which we determine all objects solely as phenomena, the form of intuition (as a subjective property of sensibility) must antecede all matter (sensations), consequently space and time must antecede all phenomena and all data of experience, and rather make experience itself possible. SECT. VII OF CONTIGUITY AND DISTANCE IN SPACE AND TIME It certainly seems that, as a body must be cogitated as substance in space, the law of divisibility would not be applicable to it as substance. Empirical intuition is therefore not a composition of phenomena and space (of perception and empty intuition). Besides the propensity to a gradual progression through the points of space and time, we have another peculiarity in our method of thinking, which concurs in producing this phaenomenon. But as we can apply to it none of the conceptions of our understanding, the representation is for us quite void, and is available only for the indication of the limits of our sensuous intuition, thereby leaving at the same time an empty space, which we are competent to fill by the aid neither of possible experience, nor of the pure understanding. Sensuous intuition is either pure intuition (space and time) or empirical intuition--of that which is immediately represented in space and time by means of sensation as real.
