Yes, for every definable x, usually called eps, this is true. But mathematics says also that all unit fractions sit at different places: ∀n ∈ ℕ: 1/n - 1/(n+1) = 1/(n(n+1)) > 0 and can appear in NUF only one by one.
Therefore there is only one way out of the apparent contradiction: Dark numbers.

Every unit fraction increases the number NUF. If the number starts with ℵo then you contradict the mathematical fact that ℵo unit fractions cannot start at the same x.

If it is constant for every x > 0, then ℵo unit fractions sit at one point. Contradition.

It is not possible. It is clearly wrong when all x are in question. Therefore it is enforcing the existence of numbers x which cannot be chosen as eps - dark numbers x.
