Shoo, fly.
"There's no gap in this Heaviside step with connecting H(0+) and H(0-)
with a simple line segment. There is no point in it such that, not in
the function, it is the only point in all neighborhoods of any [1] two
points in the function, not in the function (not even a point
discontinuity). Here "in the function" is each (x,y) in the combined
coordinate image or co-range, with the function defined by the points
in it. The two points are from: the left and right limit
sequences,and the points on the asymptote. (The contrapositive is a
strong rationale not all find.) " ([1] of every)
That one's mine: a definition of continuity. I'd well surmise it's
already found, but, I discovered it.
However again as noted, though, you're barking up Euler's and Hardy's
trees, who we hold in high esteem and of authority. Hardy's
apologetics as noted above may help, as his treatise was the text.
Euler and Hardy give definitions of "naturally continuous", for what
we know that is yet, somewhat, under-defined, reflected in the
"natural" as being "fundamental", "defining", or "primary".
And then, no, I'm quite against any "attempt to deceive": quite.
Hancher, I think you should give our readers somewhat more credit in
terms of their rational ability, else, they give you less. Also I'd
be glad to see that in this thread already you've corrected your
statements that Aleph_0 is in the reals and H isn't a real function.
Dear readers, I think very highly of you. Then warm regards in the
spirit of the season and good luck with your reflections on
mathematical: truth.
And warm regards,
Ross Finlayson
