 In 1924, Brouwer showed that every function defined on a closed interval of his continuum is uniformly continuous.  As a consequence the intuitionistic continuum is indecomposable, that is, cannot be split into two disjoint parts in any way whatsoever. In contrast with a discrete entity, the indecomposable Brouwerian continuum cannot be composed of its parts.  Brouwer’s vision of the continuum has in recent years become the subject of intensive mathematical investigation.
