Hi,
"The unit of social intercourse is called a
transaction

Good to see that people are still reading Eric Berne.
Your problem is that Berne used "unit" in its colloquial meaning as "pretty much any set with a boundary", which can signify, say, an "industrial unit" (a building) or one of the packages or individual products within it, whereas you seem to be interpreting it in its physics sense as "a defined quantity", say a second or a gram.

Yes, god created things and spaces, and flows too.

Hi,
Once one needed a black board (not green), a chalk (white), a straightedge and a pair of compasses.
compass (n.)

"So mathematicians thought for a whole while on how to solve Russell's paradox,
how to solve this dire situation in math. And they came to a conclusion that the set R is not
actually a set. You cannot expect to throw things in a container and build a set like that..."
One could compare with
"Basic concepts: Thing, Connection/Space
Connection/Space is a thing but it is not a thing to things it connects/contains."
