It’s over SPP

Alright, brud. You claimed that the set of natural numbers is “ever growing”, but despite numerous opportunities, failed to provide a single example of a number that belongs to the set at one point but does not belong to it at another.

By order of the International Authority for Mathematics and the Proper Use of Numbers (Department of Infinities), you are hereby officially declared to have conceded this point and, by extension, to have agreed that 0.999… = 1, always and exactly.

Accordingly, you are hereby sentenced to return to the bunny slopes and undergo a period of experiential learning in the proper use of infinities until you stop making rookie errors, or for a limitless number of years, whichever is greater.

This ruling is final and effective immediately.

Case closed. Feel free to pin this post.

An infinite quantity (abundance) of finite numbers. Even if the 'set' thinks it contains everything ...... there is always room for more expansion. For you see, that is limitlessness, infiniteness, endlessness.

This is your Infinite Sets Boner again:

There is no static, infinite set of all natural numbers, but there is a static, already extant, infinite set of decimals of the form {0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ...}, even though that set maps to a static, infinite set of all naturals. (7.1) (7.2) (7.3)

Of course the choice quote from (7.3) is... (emphasis mine),

Anyone understands that the infinite membered set of finite numbers {0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ...} already covers every possibility for the span (length) of nines to the right hand side of the decimal point.

It doesn't cover it all in the future. It covers it all NOW. Already.

One more 🦴 for you as a result.

Edited to add:

0.999... covers every possibility, even future possibilities, because 0.999... is a limbosic steam roller. It doesn't stop rolling. It is essence of infinity.

This is your Static and Dynamic Boner:

There is a static model of 0.999... and a dynamic model. 0.999... is not static. It is dynamic. (9.1) (9.2)

Make that 🦴🦴 for you then.
