    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Chains of exact location are always short (length one)

    Parthood-grounded location(metaphysics - explaining how we determine spatial location)
    A way of determining where something is located based on its relationship to larger wholes—the location is explained by the object being a part of something bigger.
