The diagonalization of finite descriptions does not necessarily supply
a description at all.

That is of no interest here. Of interest is this: If the same set of
nodes has to describe both, the Binary Tree with finite paths and that
with infinite paths, then it is impossible to discern, alone by nodes,
whether we work in the former or the latter. Hence I can assert that I
always work in the Binary Tree with finite paths only. I can
diagonalize the complete list of terminating decimals without leaving
the domain of terminating decimals.
Notice, this would only be the case if the domains could not be
distinguisged by nodes or digits, as you mistakenly claimed.
