Then why does WM insist on imposing several different interpretations on
the sequence he presented?

Then Wm stands outside mathematics, as he doe exactly that with his
'sequence", giving it multiple interpretations.

But WM is not using any of Cauchy's definitions of limits with his
sequence, which, according to any Cauchy definition does not converge
at all. There is no uncertainty about that fact.

Who are, by every standard but WM's, mathematicians and by whose own
