EF_d(n) = n/d, and EF = EF_oo.
It does work: n+1 > n => (n+1)/m > n/m, for non-negative m, n. There is a constant monotonic difference between each EF(n) and EF(n+1), for example where zero is less than one, in trichotomy of the integers. Standardly in the limit EF(0) = 0 and lim_n->d EF(n) = 1. The constant monotonic differences sum to one. (The limit is the sum.)
And yes, we're all aware that lim_d->oo n/d = 0, and also that n+1 > n => (n+1)/d > n/d, for all positive n, d (d strictly). Then, It is simply via symmetry, that the range of EF is [0,1] and the range of the complementary or reverse EF is [1,0], that they cross at 1/2, their average, constant over all values.
Simply it accumulates, the value: empty: full. How many grains of sand is a dune? All of them.
And that would be infinitely out through the integers, because it is somewhere, and not for any finite is it. That's the way it is: via reason.
Work.
Zero: a real quantity.
