Ultimate location Paradox question
If everything needs a location, or a somewhere in order to exist, then where is the location of everything that exists and where is that location located?
My Statement: In order to exist, things need to have a shape
Objection:
THAT is not true. Counter-example: what is the shape of the color green?
THAT is not true. Counter-example: what is the shape of the color green?
My response:
Color is merely our brain's interpretation of different radiation wavelengths. It's location is the object it is reflected from. For example the radiation from our sun that we perceive as blue when scattered in our atmosphere, or green when that wavelength is reflect off a blade of grass. An alien nervous system wired differently might perceive that blade of grass or our sky a completely different hue.
Please note that The set of any type of number is also a concept generated by the human brain. So for them to exists as a concept, the location of a human brain, or non human mentality must be present.

My statement: A shape involves boundaries.
Objection:
THAT is not true. Counter-example: what is the boundary of the tridimensional ambient space?
THAT is not true. Counter-example: what is the boundary of the tridimensional ambient space?
My response:
Three dimensional Ambient space is not a shape. It is merely our present dimension divested of the fourth dimension of time within which things that exist as actual objects, have length width and depth. Remove time from the formula, and we have three-dimensional space. It does not involve any specific shape such as a sphere, a square, rectangle, triangle etc.

My statement: Boundaries must be surrounded with non-boundaries
Objection:
THAT is not true. Counter-example: the boundary of the set of irrational numbers inside the set of real numbers is the set of real numbers itself, which is all the available space in this context.

My Response: Those are concepts which originate in the human brain and the human brain is a location.
Objection:
PS: I have the feeling that your confusion lies in the fact that what you really mean by "exist" is "exist in space". Which then leads you to the tautological conclusion that for a thing to exist in space, there must be some space in which this thing exists.

My Response:
There is absolutely nothing in the definitions of Ambient Space supports that idea. In fact, its definition describes an object surrounded by space. Which of course brings us back to the same original problem of ultimate location.
In mathematics, especially in geometry and topology, an ambient space is the space surrounding a mathematical object along with the object itself
