The fun thing about the existence of infinity is that there is an infinite number of possible points on the line between “duck” and “not duck”
depends how you define duck; you can very much make it a binary. ultimately every term is just a construct
You can make the term a binary, but binary doesn’t really exist in the real world. Your DNA is part duck just by nature of being a vertebrate.
Binary absolutely exists "in the real world".
I believe that every arbitrarily descriptive line can be crossed by dissecting the nature of the things on either side of the line.
