Proofs establish facts about every element of a set (for example that it
is in the image of some function) in a finite number of steps.  Proving
things in mathematics is not cheating.  It's your pretending that a
never ending process is required that is dishonest.

All that is required is the fact of a bijection.  Your waffle is of no
consequence.  It's unfortunate for you that B(n) = S^n(1) (see below) is
provably bijective even in WMaths!

None the less, bijective functions between Q+ and N provably exist.  The
astute reader will notice that you try to avoid denying obvious facts.
So you don't say "the B you gave is not bijective" or "the image if N
under B is not Q+", you just add some waffle that makes it sound like
you don't agree, but which don't impinge on the argument at all.

They exist up to every finite initial segment. That is never an infinite set.

Your claim is obviously wrong. Every definable pair of a bijection with |N belongs to a tiny initial segment of |N and is followed by almost all elements of |N. Try to find a counter-example.

Well thats a property of countable infinite, 
that we have the following:

   |E(k)| = |omega|

Whats your prolololoblem? Something to do
with Augsburg Crank institute?

Maybe some Volkswagen Omlette?

Ah!  Getting somewhere.  So

  B(n) = S^n(1)
  where S(a/b) = b / (qb + b - r)

  (a/b is a rational written in it's lowest terms, and q and r are the
  quotient and remainder of a divided by b.)

is (according to you) not a bijection between N and Q+.  To be a
bijection from N to Q+ you require it to be

  (1) a function

  (2) surjektiv (oder Abbildung auf Q+), wenn jedes y ∈ Q+ ein Bild ist

  (3) injektiv (oder eindeutig), wenn aus B(x1) = B(x2) folgt x1 = x2

Which of (1), (2) or (3) is not provable for B?

(Technically, we only really care about (1) and (2) since a surjective
function will do for countability.)

Of course, but they can do this in two DIFFERENT WAYS depending on whether
the set is finite or infinite.  If the set is finite then you will still
have a finite proof even if you prove a separate theorem for every element
of the set -- their conjunction is also finite and therefore defined, AND IS
the theorem ABOUT THE WHOLE set (that its EVERY element has some property).
WHEN THE SET IS INFINITE, THE ABOVE will NECESSARILY NOT work. You HAVE to
do something different.  In practice, believe it or not, proving that Every
element of an Infinite set has some property IS EASIER THAN proving n
instances for elements of a size-n set, because in the infinite case, YOU
ONLY HAVE TO PROVE THAT *ONE* element has the property -- but it has to be
A GENERIC element -- you have to conduct the proof while designating the element BY A NAME that is NOT MENTINOED IN THE AXIOMS -- you therefore have to conduct the proof WITH NO INFORMATION ABOUT the element that you are proving has the property -- EXCEPT that it is an element of the set.  This is OBVIOUSLY SOUND because you could simply repeat the proof WITH that variable-name INSTANTIATED TO ANY element of the set and the proof would look typogrpahically identical to(and be correct for all the same reasons as) the proof you just presented with the variable-name.

So WM's contention that the proof for the infinite case is somehow "harder" is just laughable.  His claim that you need an infinite process is even worse.
Once you have proved the property for the generic case, all infinity of the specific cases follow IN PARALLEL, NOT serially -- not that it would matter, since math doesn't acknowledge ANY lower limit on TIME required to complete an individual case.

and the readers are in general too polite to mention that every element is not generic but belongs to a tiny finite segment. For instance every endsegmnet appearing in 

∀n ∈ ℕ: E(1) ∩ E(2) ∩ ... ∩ E(n) =/= { }

is useless and invalid to contribute to 

E(1) ∩ E(2) ∩ E(3) ∩ ... = { } .

But the readers are too polite to ask what causes the emptiness of the result.

What is the point-wise limit of the sequence of real functions

 e_n(x) = 1 if x >= n, 0 otherwise

?  I ask (as you know) because point-wise convergence of indicator
functions is one way to define the limit you are puzzled by.

You could use this definition of point-wise convergence if you like:

Let (f_n) be a sequence of functions and B ⊆ D. The sequence of
functions is said to be convergent in the usual sense or point-wise
convergent on B, if a function f: B -> R exists, such that for every x ∈
B we have f(x) = lim_{n->oo} f_n(x).

The f_n are functions from D -> R with D ⊆ R.

This is a stupid question.  He ISN'T TALKING about real functions.
He's talking ABOUT SETS.   The elements of sets in ZF are OTHER SETS,
NOT "points".

Non-answer number 1.  (I expect you not to answer this question at least
a dozen times, so I may as well start counting.)

As for your question: as many as you like.  It's a silly question
because whether N \ E = {} (for E ⊆ N) depends one which numbers are in
E as much as one how many numbers are in E.

Now, will you answer my question?

It is the answer. All removable numbers must first be defined. The limit function is 0 for every definable number. But most numbers are not definable.

Of course I meant definable numbers, i.e., numbers where a decimal repesentation can be given. The set of these numbers is infinite, because for every defined number a larger one can be defined. But not all can be defined, because every defined number has infinitely many successors.

> 
> Now, will you answer my question?

I did. The limit function is zero for every definable number. The set of definable numbers is infinite. But it is a proper subset of |N which is the smallest infinite set according to ZFC.

No it was not an answer.  The point-wise limit has nothing to do with
"removable" numbers, and you failed to even mention "definable" numbers
in your claimed answer.

Here's what is actually meant by the point-wise limit:

  Let (f_n) be a sequence of functions and B ⊆ D. The sequence of
  functions is said to be convergent in the usual sense or point-wise
  convergent on B, if a function f: B -> R exists, such that for every x
  ∈ B we have f(x) = lim_{n->oo} f_n(x).  (The f_n are functions from D
  -> R with D ⊆ R.)

See? No reference to removing anything and no reference to definable
numbers.  The function e(x) = 0 meets this definition for the limit of
the e_n.  A reminder:

  e_n(x) = 1 if x >= n, 0 otherwise

If you have some other definition of the point-wise limit function, what
is it?  It would have to exclude e(x) = 0 being the limit of the
sequence (e_n).

But definability is just a ruse.  You want to talk about anything other
than the plain fact that e(x) = 0 meets the above definition, and
waffling about words like "definable" is your favourite pass time now
that you are retired.

>> As for your question: as many as you like.  It's a silly question
>> because whether N \ E = {} (for E ⊆ N) depends one which numbers are in

>
> Of course I meant definable numbers,

You should have said so then, but the answer remains the same: "How many
definable natnumbers can we remove from 1, 2, 3, ... without emptying
this set?"  Answer: as many as you like.  It remains a silly question
for the reason given.

Definable is simple: A decimal representation can be given.

Then define all elements individually such that none remains.

It's a red herring because e(x) = 0 meets the definition of the
point-wise limit of the (e_n).

Still a red herring.  e(x) = 0 meets this definition of the limit of the
(e_n).  Even if we include the red herring, you must agree that for
every definable x, lim_{n->oo} e_n(x) = 0 = e(x).

Are you claiming some other function or functions are also limits of
that sequence?

(The e_n are e_n(x) = 1 if x >= n, 0 otherwise.)

Do you think there are natural numbers for which a decimal

But n does not meet the definition.

Upon every definable natnumber, there are infinitely many undefinable following. Thsi is in the simplest ways proved by endsegments:

For every definable k ∈ ℕ: {E(1),E(2),...,E(n),...}\{E(2),..., E(k)} 
take the intersection of the result: ∩{E(1), E(k+1),E(k+2), E(k+3),...} = { }

But not every x. See above.

No, for every definable x and n we get e_n(x) = 0 = e(x).

If there are more than a potentially infinite set of natnumbers, then there must be such natnumbers. See my proof above. Or simply try to define a natural number k for which

∩{E(1), E(k+1),E(k+2), E(k+3),...} =/= { }

(A reminder: e_n(x) = 1 if x >= n, 0 otherwise.  You seem to have
forgotten this given what you write later on.)

In this case we are interested in the convergence on B = N.  I take it
you agree that there is a function e: N -> R given by e(x) = 0?  It is
simply the set N x {0}.  You have previous stated that for every x ∈ N

  lim_{n->oo} e_n(x) = 0.

Are you retracting that?  That would undermine almost everything in your
book about limits of sequences.

Either you have miss-understood something very basic here, or you have
not written what you mean.

  e_n(x) = 1 if x >= n, 0 otherwise

so for the eminently definable x = 1 and n = 1

  e_1(1) = 1 =/= 0.

How can there be more?  Is there a natural number that is not in the
potentially infinite set N?  Maybe you have a secret meaning for "more".

That is true for potential infinity (my book) and for every definable n (there are infinitely many in set theory), followed by infinitely many undefinable natnumbers.

I meant: The limit function is 0 for every definable x

In set theory there must be more. There is no potential infinity.

Context: the e_n are a family of functions e_n(x) = 1 if x >=n, 0
otherwise.

Oh!  So in WMaths the limit function is e(x) = 0.  I thought you denied
this.

And just to be clear, you think that in "set theory" (i.e. normal
mathematics) there are some x ∈ N for which lim_{n->oo} e_n(x) is not 0.
I won't ask you to prove this -- it's just useful for people to see your
beliefs clearly stated.

Presumably there is nothing special about the functions I picked.  Can
you confirm that you think that in "set theory" there are no point-wise
limit functions because the "for every x" in the definition can never be
met?

As you say, there is no potential infinity so what on Earth did you
think you were asking about set theory?  The question only makes sense
in WMaths.

Mathematics (what you call set theory) proves statements like

  for every x ∈ N, lim_{n->oo} e_n(x) = 0.

There are no qualifications about "purple x", "honourable x" or
"definable x".  The proof just applies to every x ∈ N.

Up to every definable n this is correct. In mathematics there are only definable n. In set theory there is actual infinity, i.e., a set larger than all FISONs. Since all definable natnumbers are in FISONs, the actually infinite set must contain more than definable numbers.

It is easy: Since all definable natnumbers are in FISONs, the actually infinite set (larger than all FISONs) must contain more than definable numbers.

All limit functions are correctly described in potential infinity. The set of definable numbers in set theory is always finite without a last element, i.e., the same a the set of all natural numbers in potential infinity.

It also proves ∀k ∈ ℕ ∩{E(k+1),E(k+2), E(k+3),...} = { }  (*)

Therefore for all natnumbers there must be infinitely many successors. Even the intersection of these successor sets must be infinite. Otherwise (*) would not be true for all natnumbers k.

As you see here (*), it does not. It is only believes by people who are not looking through.
