I regard L=(L1,L2) is a kind of scope of our senses (sight, hearing, etc.). We
can see L as one whole (like the animate universe, i.e. the universe as a
mind), when it is possible for our senses, or we may see it as consisting of
many points when it is natural for our senses to see them as points (like when
you see things in daily life or physical thinking). In the latter case, we see
things as a many body system L consisiting of many subsystems L1,L2,...,LN.
I think "to draw an observation boundary around L=(L1,L2,...,LN)" does not
always mean to see L as one whole or one point without the inside.
Best wishes,
Hitoshi
