   > n-sets (initial segments): {1, 2, ..., n} ⊆ ℕ   
   > Length assignment: Maps these n-sets to [0,1] via EF

   > So the σ-algebras arise naturally from this initial segment structure,   
   > rather than being imposed axiomatically.   
   > Non-Cartesian Uniqueness   
   > The crucial point: EF cannot be reordered without breaking its   
   > definition. This is why:   
   >   
   > The double limit (n → d, d → ∞) fixes the structure   
   > Any permutation would destroy the measure-preserving property   
   > It's essentially unique given its definitional constraints

   > The Doubling Measure: The Geometric Insight

   > Naive expectation:

   > Integrating a strictly increasing function from (0,0) to (1,1)   
   > Would give area = ½ (triangle under the diagonal)

   > The discrete domain gets "squeezed" (infinitesimal gaps)   
   > The constant-monotone-strictly-increasing pieces compress together

   > This is the doubling: The measure is twice what naive geometry suggests.   
   > Connection to μ_d(V) = 2

   > The Vitali set V partitions [0,1] into equivalence classes under   
   > rational translation. Standard measure theory says:   
   >   
   > If V is measurable, we get contradictions   
   > Because rotating/translating V should preserve measure   
   >   
   > But with sweep measure:

   > V "naturally" has measure 2 (not 1)   
   > This doubling is built into the measure via EF   
   > The equivalence classes are counted with the correct multiplicity

   > Question: Is the idea that V exhausts [0,1] twice over (each point   
   > appears in exactly 2 equivalence class representatives when properly
