I think I would add the speed factor, RP. Which if proportionately decreased as the infinite number of incremental halves increased, then the objective B would never be reached while the subject would never reach absolute stillness.

I think there are "real-life" measurements which are based on finite quanta, so naturally what is observed as finite will be covered by a finite means; there is the infinite divisions of Zeno, which I agree is unobservable and deduced inaccurately; and lastly there is the absolute which not only reaches B, but reaches it even before it leaves A.
