On your blob you say,
"The central idea is that h is the smallest length that has any meaning,
but there is no rule that says where you can place it. So, you let the
location of h be arbitrary and the result is the image which we see above."
What do you mean by "place" and how is this defined differently than
"length". Aren't places defined by measured lengths from some chosen
point?
Just asking....

So what is the "chosen point" if it isn't another "place", and how
would you define *that*?

Easy. Planklength and points can coexist without violatnig the definition of
plancklength.
Plancklength is 1 dimensional, and the point is zero dimensional. So, while
placnklength is indeed the smallest length, you still have points, just like
in R1.
If that did'nt answer the question, I think that the answer might be as
follows;
For any length, you can chop it up into individual plancklengths. You can
graduate it like a ruler. But the graduations cannot be fixed, it makes no
sense that they would be. So, you let the graduations slide freely back and
forth. Let it be completely arbitrary, like a blurr. Now, you can start to
talk about any length in R being possible despite quantization.
It's a work in progress. Or is it a work in regress ? : )
