Same Place, Different Coordinates
The same position can be represented in several coordinate systems. The place does not change; the rules of description do. That distinction is part of what makes geometry interesting to me.

Computers represent many observations of nature digitally, but the representation and the observed world are not the same thing. We choose which distinctions to preserve, how finely to measure, and what to discard.
