Court of Appeal is discussing layers of law and we have guidance stating constitutional principles
Court of Appeal has said that law and guidance should be applied sequentially, and used the terms “gateway provision”. Subsidiary guidance is a “control for those who get through that gateway”.

As we have a Cantor for infinities do we need a Cantor for zeroes? Approaching zero, infinitesimals, decimals and multiples of ten. What happens when we move from minus one to plus one? Is it complex? What does quantum foam tell us about zero?
