 Strictly speaking, NXS does not say that extended simples are impossible; rather, it says that simples with complex exact locations are impossible. It leaves open the possibility that there are extended simple regions and extended simple entities that are exactly located at them. (For more on extended simple regions and discrete space or spacetime, see Forrest 1995, Tognazzini 2006, Braddon-Mitchell and Miller 2006, McDaniel 2007, Dainton 2010: 294–301, Spencer 2010, 2014, Hagar 2014, Jaeger 2014, and Kleinschmidt 2016.) And it rules out the possibility that there is a point-sized material simple that is exactly located at a point-sized but mereologically complex region (e.g., a region that is the fusion of several point-sized tropes each of which is at zero distance from each of the others).
