If there were a real x with finitely many UFs less than it, the finitely many larger UFs... couldn't have infinitely many lesser UFs. Unless you claim finitely many UFs. > i.e., the open interval (0, 1]. No, you shifted the quantifiers again. -- Am Sat, 20 Jul 2024 12:35:31 +0000 schrieb WM in sci.math: It is not guaranteed that n+1 exists for every n.
