The true antithesis of 0 to 1 is not 1 to n; that's a strawman. The true antithesis is ε to δ: the evolutionary adjacent possible...

Ironically 0 to 1 (understood as coin toss) is conceptual atom of statistics/indeterminacy, ε/δ is conceptual atom of calculus/determinacy

Stats is intuitive in discrete (dice, coins, balls in urns), unintuitive in continuous. Calculus is opposite. This has deep effects.

Calculus being more natural on continuum means discrete realities feel like approximations. You try to go more fine-grained for better truth

Calculus is more fundamentally indeterminate view of the world: zoom in enuf (and you can do so infinitely in continuous), more bits appear

You get misled when you cherry pick example like predictability of space orbits as "proof" of precise predictability of calculus world.
