  1. Most accounts of Hermann Weyl's objections to the Dedekind continuum treat them as episodes in the foundations of mathematics. This essay takes a different route. Beginning with Weyl's dissatisfaction with impredicative definitions, it follows a path through intuitionism, Husserlian phenomenology, and Riemannian geometry to ask a broader question: what if continuity is not a completed object but an ongoing achievement?
