Abstract
We consider a set, L, of lines in $ℝ^n$ and a partition of L into some number of sets: $L = L_1∪...∪ L_p$. We seek a corresponding partition $ℝ^n = S_1 ∪...∪ S_p$ such that each line l in $L_i$ meets the set $S_i$ in a set whose cardinality has some fixed bound, $ω_τ$. We determine equivalences between the bounds on the size of the continuum, $2^ω ≤ ω_θ$, and some relationships between p, $ω_τ$ and $ω_θ$.
