Yes, that is right, two variables and no function. Saying A=(x,y) is
merely giving a name (in this case 'A') to a point in the space R^2.
There is no function.

And? I was not questioning this, but the vague and incorrect mathematical
notation you were using.

Well then you didn't make it clear that you had left your attempt to
descrbe your position with mathematics to another medium.

Semantics, schemantics. How about we do this, ignore the refrences to
mathemaics in your initial post. Clears up all the ambiguity.
