What do you get if you divide 1 by 4?

You get your share of a large pie that is exactly one quarter of a pie, eat it all and enjoy it.

private ownership of exactly one quarter of a pie is not assured. As I may not be able to resist the temptation to eat it. So what can we say of the pie? perhaps...

the limit as one tends towards zero. Which is zero.

So, what can we say of the pie? Where is it? does it exist? if so where is it? did it ever exist or was it a socially accepted understanding to recongnise such a thing as a pie - why not by its ingredients and so on...

So, what is one?
