Before he proves. He asserts the presumption of the presumed
claimant. That presumption involves a one-to-one
correspondence. A one-to-one correspondence is not
a one-to-many correspondence.

Yes. Cantor identifies a terminating search for each line
in order to make stepwise decisions on what symbol to use
in extending the sequence of symbols that form the counter-example.

No. The counter-example only requires a terminating search
for each line. The proof requires a presupposition of
individuated numbers named using a consistent naming algorithm
based on a finite set of sequentially ordered symbols.

And with the two words of this sentence, you identify your

...what it means to apply logic.
