We can make a not-possibly-false claim
about d that nothing is between 0 and d

Because
d exists, point d < each finite 1/n
D exists, set D bounded non-empty holding reals

Because
D exists, set D bounded non-empty holding reals
f exists, function f continuous and jumping

Because
f exists, function f continuous and jumping
you (WM) are not talking about "line"

Yes.
Since your "line" allows continuous functions
to jump, and our "line" doesn't allow that,
nothing you say can be a problem for us.

The only thing I can think of is infinitely close as in:

..1
..01
..001
..0001
....

So zero wrt its limit?

There are many dark unit fractions "next to zero", i.e. between 0 and every definable unit fraction, because the dark unit fractions cannot be distinguished.

> A unit fraction (unlike an "infinitesimal unit fraction" which is not a unit fraction.) is an element of |R and cannot be infinitesimal.

But the dark unit fractions are points on the real line. They are the infinitely many unit fractions between every definable unit fraction and 0.

The idea of infinitely close seems to come from the hyperreals.

So what? Despite the misleading name "dark unit fractions" are not unit fractions. The is no unit fraction "next to"

Nope the real number line only has points corresponding to elements of |R. An infinitesimal is not an element of |R,

The unit fraction u is next to zero, if there is no other unit fraction between u and zero.
The unit fraction u is next to zero, if the cursor passes no is no other unit fraction on his way.
Alas such a unit fraction cannot be found, because ℵo unit fractions are not distinguishable. Therefore they all are next to zero.

All unit fractions which you can find can be surpassed when you look closer.. This is an infinite process. Whether these unit fractions have been there before already or whether you have created them by looking closer, is not decided.

> The is no unit fraction "next to"

The unit fraction u is next to zero, if there is no other unit fraction between u and zero.
The unit fraction u is next to zero, if the cursor passes no is no other unit fraction on his way.
Alas such a unit fraction cannot be found, because ℵo unit fractions are not distinguishable. Therefore they all are next to zero. But they are points on the real line.

You are provably wrong here.
The cursor will pass more unit fractions on the real line than can be discerned.
There is no point between 0 and (0, 1]. Hence there cannot exist a unit fraction between 0 and (0, 1]. Hence the Number of Unit Fractions between zero and (0, 1] is 0.
However the Number of Unit Fractions between zero and every discernible 1/n and (0, 1] is ℵo.

Yes, It has been decided, A unit fraction (unlike an "infinitesimal unit fraction" which is not a unit fraction) is an element of the set |R. A set does not change. An element of |R has always been an element of |R

Correct. And since if x is a unit fraction there a unit fraction between x and zero there is no unit fraction next to 0.

There are infinite fractions that get closer and closer to zero.

Since there is 'always' something else between u and zero, then there
cannot be any u next to zero.

What is an infinite fraction?

There is a last unit fraction *noticed*. This last unit fraction depends on your attention and can be surpassed. The unit fractions surpassing it either are already present at the first cursor movement or not. Here we assume that they and all further surpassing unit fractions are already existing as dark terms. The set is not fixed because it can be expanded at will.

Wrong. There is nothing between (0,1] and zero, but removing anything from the edges of (0,1] will remove unit fractions too. Hence there is nothing between all unit fractions and zero.

No. There is nothing between (0,1] and zero, but removing anything from the edges of (0,1] will remove unit fractions too. Hence there is nothing between all unit fractions and zero.

Correct, there is no element of |R between the set of unit fractions ("all unit fractions") and 0, There are an infinite number of "infinitesimal unit factions" between 0 and the set of elements of |R, (0,1].

Okay.
Now I'm thinking of
infinitely-many finite fractions.

Each of those fractions is stationary
with respect to zero.

What next?

Nein, nicht falsch, Du Spinner.

If x is a unit fraction, then [by definition] there is a natural number n such that x = 1/n. Then the unit fraction 1/(n+1) is between x and zero: 0 < 1(n+1) < 1/n = x.

What's wrong with you, you psychotic asshole full shit?!
