Nothing with non-zero digits to the right oF the radix point are natural
numbers, at least not outside Wolkenmuekenheim.

Anything that WM alone claims needs more proof that just his word to
convince anyone sensible. But what WM presents as proof almost always
fail to convince the careful reader.

What limit?
Until one has an unambiguous rule determining the terms of a sequence,
which does not exist in WM's "sequence", there cannot be an unambiguous
limit.

Until WM can show that his sequence of numbers is well defined, it has
no limit as a sequence of numbers, and until WM can show that his
sequence of numbers is really a sequence of sets, which he has not done,
it certainly cannot have a set limit.
And, quite probably, even if WM finally does show both of those things,
it may be that neither limit will be defined by any standard limit
process, either as a number sequence or a set sequence.

The only set of numbers involved would be the set of all numbers in the
sequence and that is not a sequence of sets.

To the best of my ability to see, there is no pattern of terms so
obvious as to rule out all other possibilities once the present pattern
extends far enough to needs a successor to digit 9.
Perhaps WM will have pity on my weak vision and explain his rule for
that sequnce less ambiguously.
