So what's the point of proving an object you can't actually construct?

>proving an object
this board is beyond repair

if you think that clause was ambiguous you're the one beyond repair anon

then you proved its impossible which is useful for internet arguments

hmmmm.... that does seem pretty useful now that you mention it

how do you "construct" a mental object?

Depends on the purpose, for which you are learning it.

nta but I imagine it's like going through the process of "building" some geometric or algebraic knowledge of what it is you are analyzing by composing algorithms or equations in your mind as you work with your graphing program or scientific calculator or whatever.

Like, actually doing the work. Not just understanding something yourself subjectively but being able to prove it to others formally using mathematical logic.

by defining a constructor

Find the algebraic statement of the object and Euclidize that. Easiest way I know.
