    One may dispute the very meaningfulness of claims of this kind, concerning the world as a whole: something that, to speak Kantian, is never given to us in experience. Floridi 2009 has argued against such digital ontology, not by defending a continuous picture of reality, but by arguing that the world is not the right kind of thing to which such notions as discreteness and continuity can meaningfully apply. These concern rather, in Kantian fashion, our ways of modelling reality, or “modes of pres
