That's why you cut it. Here it is again: | ∀x ∈ (0, 1]: NUF(x) = ℵo (**) | | Each of these ℵo unit fractions which according to (**) are smaller | than every x... (**) does not say, imply, prove or entail any such thing. Everything you go on to conclude from this erroneous statement is bogus. -- Ben.
