That contradicts hard facts if you work out Q6, or simply try it with the 16 reals given and the 2 possible enumerations!!
Your missing real segmented 0.a1a2a3a4 a5a6a7 a8a9 a10 a11 a12a13a14 .
has neither a new digit segment of any length anywhere or a new sequence of those sements anywhere!
NO NEW DIGIT SEQUENCE - IF YOU DO THE GROUND WORK!
Herc -- if( if(t(S),f(R)) , if(t(R),f(S)) ). if the sun's out then it's not raining ergo if it's raining then the sun's not out
