For NUF(x) > 100 there must be at least 100 real positive points at the left-hand side of x. This cannot be true for all positive x because there remain no positive points between 0 and (0, 1] = all positive points between 0 and 1.

If you claim ℵo unit fraction between every x and 0 also for x which have no positive points between themselves and 0, then you are wrong. You can claim this sensibly only for x which have ℵo positive points between them selves and 0. But you try to claim it for all points, namely the interval (0, 1].
You should distinguish between all points that you can define and all points  which can be taken only collectively but completely such that none remains.

No.

for each x ∈ (0,1]
last ⅟mₓ₁ in (0,x) exists
⅟x < mₓ₁ ≤ 1+⅟x

last ⅟mₓ₂ in (0,⅟mₓ₁) exists
mₓ₂ = mₓ₁+1

last ⅟mₓ₃ in (0,⅟mₓ₂) exists
mₓ₃ = mₓ₂+1

...

last ⅟mₓ₁₀₁ in (0,⅟mₓ₁₀₀) exists
mₓ₁₀₁ = mₓ₁₀₀+1


for each x ∈ (0,1]
⟨⅟mₓ₁₀₁…⅟mₓ₁⟩ ⊆ (0,x]

100 unit fractions don't fit between 0 and (0, 1].

that can be defined

> last ⅟mₓ₁ in (0,x) exists 

Let's talk about the interval (0, 1]. No unit fraction fits between it and zero.
Hope you will agree.
Together with your above claim that means you cannot define every x of that interval.

It is true about x ∈ (0,1]
that
more than 100 unit fractions are
between 0 and x

We know that without knowing
_which_ x ∈ (0,1] is referred to.

>> for each x ∈ (0,1]
>
> that can be defined

No. Which exists.

0 exists.
⟨x,y⟩ exists if x, y exist.
j⁺⁺ := ⟨j,0⟩ exists if j exists
⟨0…j,j⁺⁺⟩ exists if ⟨0…j⟩ exists
j ∈ ℕ exists if ⟨0…j⟩ exists
k ∈ ℤ: k = a-b exists if a,b ∈ ℕ exist
r ∈ ℚ: r = p/q exists if q≠0 and p,q ∈ ℤ exist
u ∈ 1/ℕ⁺: u = 1/n exists if n ∈ ℕ⁺ exists

for each x ∈ (0,1]
⟨⅟mₓ₁₀₁…⅟mₓ₁⟩ ⊆ (0,x]

NUF(x) := |(0,x]∩⅟ℕ⁺|

NUF(x) > 100

True for definables which exist  and
true for undefinables (if any) which exist.

>> last ⅟mₓ₁ in (0,x) exists

That does not have the consequences
to which you feel entitled.

for each x ∈ (0,1]
⟨⅟mₓ₁₀₁…⅟mₓ₁⟩ ⊆ (0,x]

NUF(x) := |(0,x]∩⅟ℕ⁺|

NUF(x) > 100

It is true for every definable x. It is not true for all x, i.e., the whole interval. 
> 
> We know that without knowing 
> _which_ x ∈ (0,1] is referred to.

We know that for NUF(x) >= 100 there must be at least 100 real positive points at the left-hand side of x. This cannot be true for all positive x because there remain no positive points between 0 and (0, 1].

Regards, WM

It has the consequence that no unit fraction fits berween every x and zero.

> NUF(x) > 100

Not for an x with less than 100 points between itself and 0. Such x can only be treated collectively. But if they would not exist, then the interval (0, 1] would not exist complete enough to know that between 0 and (0, 1] nothing fits.

That does not have the consequences
to which you feel entitled.

A unit fraction ⅟mₓ₁ exists
between that x and 0
⅟x < mₓ₁ =< 1+⅟x : 0 < ⅟mₓ₁ < x

Also existing
mₓ₂ = mₓ₁+1 : 0 < ⅟mₓ₂ < ⅟mₓ₁

mₓ₄ = mₓ₃+1 : 0 < ⅟mₓ₄ < ⅟mₓ₃
...
mₓ₁₀₁ = mₓ₁₀₀+1 : 0 < ⅟mₓ₁₀₁ < ⅟mₓ₁₀₀

No.

Collectively,
what you describe not-exists.
Not "exists darkly", _not-exists_

No.
We know nothing fits between 0 and (0,1]
and
we know 0 < NUF(x) < 101 not-exists.

Nothing fits between 0 and (0,1]

Good idea to denote this "order-realation" "between a number and an interval/a set of numbers" with <^, or something like that.

x <^ I :<-> Ay e I: x < I   (where I c IR).

I guess, we might even be able to do without that (by the usual abuse of notation), but in the context of a crank/Mückenheim thread this might be a rather bad idea.

___________________________________________

Btw. Mückenheim's "argument" relies on his usual "quantifier shift" (at least if viewed superficially).

Actually, it's even worse: _For him_ imho "Ey Ax e (0,1] ..."  does not differ "in meaning" from "Ax e (0,1] Ey ..." In other words, it seems to me that his "mental representation" of "Ey Ax e (0,1] ..." is identical with his "mental representation" of "Ax e (0,1] Ey ...".  So at a deeper level of (his) "thinking" he does not even perfom an inavlid "quantifier shift" ...

That's why he seems COMPLETELY ignorant of that point, even after all these years.

No, if there is no x with NUF(x) < ℵ₀, then for all x in (0, 1] NUF(x) = ℵ₀ which is wrong for at least ℵ₀ points x in (0, 1], because ℵ₀ unit fractions occupy ℵ₀ points of (0, 1].

Nope. It's not even wrong for a single x in (0, 1].

In other words, the following holds: for all x in (0, 1]: NUF(x) = ℵ₀.

No. For levels 0 to n we have 2^n complete paths but 2^(n+1) -1 nodes. What miracle should change this ratio "in the infinite"? Neither nodes nor paths exist in the infinite.

A miracle is that so many mathematicians are stupid enough to believe this inane hocupocus.

There are only two different terms: 0 and 1.

No, there are many. Each term (node) is a triple of level number, index within the level, and value 0 or 1. My claim is that there are more nodes than paths up to each level, which is undisputed. A reversal of the ratio is unreasonable belief.

No.  You were talking, it seems, about what I wrote.  If you don't
understand what I wrote, ask for an explanation or don't reply.  The
functions from N to {0,1} are sequences with only two different terms.

No, I ws talking about true mathematics. There every node of the Binary Tree is defined by a triple of numbers. The number of these nodes surpasses the number of paths.

I reply only because you don't understad what you wrote.

Nonsense. The function 0, 0, 0, ... for instance, has infinitely many terms. Note the difference with sets where elements are different.

You are again dishonestly editing quotes without noting the fact.  Did

Then you should have made it clear you where not talking about the
remark you quoted.  In fact you should not quote it if you are not going
to address it.

You know perfectly well that (infinite) sequences are functions of N.
It's even in your textbook so I know you know.  I must interpret your
"there are more different terms of the sequences than sequences" as
referring to the sequences I wrote about, since you commented directly on
those sequences, not the ones you had in your head.

The functions from N to {0,1} are sequences of 0s and 1s, and they all
have only two different terms.

You must be being deliberately obtuse.  There are infinitely many terms,
but only two different terms.

You hate talking about paths as functions from N to {0,1} because your
waffle about paths being "distinguished by nodes" is made to look a
foolish as it really is.  Infinitely many such functions (i.e. paths) can
be distinguished despite there being only two different terms.

The best way to yield dark numbers is to pay attention to the radix.
The natural numbers, being a radix one concept, plod along so slowly toward infinity as they can merely find their successor in their digital makeup:
   s( s( s( ...s( 1 ) ) ) ... )
This value is simply:
   111...11
in radix one. We can call this then a representation of infinity; aleph if you like. However, entertaining higher radix systems, and technically we can still respect this aleph concept as now implied by the naturals except that it applies to the quantity of digits of the value, and for instance in our conventional radix-ten representation then, respecting this aleph, we can have:
   999...99
whose infinite qualities are far more monstrous than the lowly naturals achieved. We can even increment this radix ten aleph and get omega:
   1|000...00
and so computable forms of infinity arrive when we allow the tail of the digits, and lets face it: nobody ever built a computable value without a tail. In this regard ordinary mathematics gets it wrong when they write:
   1/3 = 0.333...
and the correct representation should have been:
   1/3 = 0.333...33
which is computable. The aptness of the radix point versus the aleph point can be expounded upon. Their distinction is minimal. Upon taking products double radix points and double aleph points will be exposed. As to the grotesqueness of those value... yet they can be incremented too.
The gains of this method are obvious. Why Cantor didn't do it I cannot say. It's simple enough really. The unreachable problems are still unreachable; it's not as if your new differential 0.000...01 is going to count up to unity, but you see it is its own unital form much like dimensional analysis.

Perhaps there is a carry into bra-ket notation: the product as a finite result can be had between a rank one aleph form and a rank one differential form. I think this is simpler, but maybe symmetrical other than the scale.
