  In §6 of Das Kontinuum Weyl presents his conclusions as to the relationship between the intuitive and mathematical  continua. He poses the question: Does the mathematical  framework he has erected provide an adequate representation of  physical or temporal continuity as it is actually  experienced? In posing this question we can see the continuing  influence of Husserl and phenomenological doctrine. Weyl begins his  investigation by noting that, according to his theory, if one asks  whether a given function is continuous, the answer is not fixed once  and for all, but is, rather, dependent on the extent of the domain of real numbers which have been defined up to the point at which the  question is posed. Thus the continuity of a function must always  remain provisional; the possibility always exists that a  function deemed continuous now may, with the emergence of  “new” real numbers, turn out to be discontinuous in  the future.
