Note, the mapping isn't in your [1, n] but in N. Your logic that if it holds for all FISONs, it holds for N, is what shows that 0 == 1, so we see that logic is broken when it is applied to truly infinite things. > >>> All intervals do it because there is no n outside of all intervals >>> [1, n].

Right, but no FISON uses contains ALL n. > > Regards, WM >
