RE: Research diaries #10: The real line, gaps in the rational numbers and the axiom of completeness

I have seen the Wikipedia article on this topic, it looks more explanatory. You didn't answer my first question well, probably why i was still confused.

The set of values you presented (2, 1.5, 1.42....) are actually for r belonging to Q. You said they belonged to Q but never stated if it was for r or r².

Sorry I don't understand the question. r can only exist within the definition of A or B. So we can only view it as something contained in a set.

2, 15/10, 142/100 are in Q but not in B. But they do bound B from above.

I pretty much understand you, ok.

please don't repeat this again, it's making you sound like a robot. 😂

How about using the Cauchy sequence approach, I like that one, it looks more understandable.
