In this work the amount of each representative of these species is modeled as a discrete quantity, not using a continuous function.
All we get for an answer from the Categories is that number is a discrete quantity.
For this reason, we compute mappability as a discrete quantity –that is, a region is either mappable (unambiguous) or not mappable (ambiguous).

In addition, sample TN01 (a commercially available black earth) exhibits the same composition of the raw materials (samples TN and Bol) but with discrete quantity of gypsum.
Nowadays, the ability to analyze discrete quantities of obsidian from several sites allows us to describe the market flow at the time in a more exact and precise way, even reconstructing the different mechanisms of trade and transport used in different places and periods.
Similar results are found in squirrel monkeys and tufted capuchin monkeys with discrimination between discrete quantities of one to nine food items [20] [24].
One recent study with adult humans [38] has provided evidence that the extraction of a representation of continuous extent, such as the area of stimuli, in most cases proceeds more rapidly than the extraction of a representation of discrete quantity.
