Full Idea
There is a question of whether there must be 'vagueness all the way down' for the world to be vague. One view is that if there is a base level of precisely describably facts, upon which all the others supervene, then the world is not really vague.
Gist of Idea
Maybe for the world to be vague, it must be vague in its foundations?

A Reaction
My understanding of the physics is that it is non-vague all the way down, and then you get to the base level which is hopelessly vague!
