r is distinguishable on finite basis iff For Every real x. ~x=r ->
Exist n: d_n of r =/= d_n of x.
As far as I know every real is so distinguishable.
In your version you changed the quantifier order, your version is
speaking about the following:
r is distinguishable on finite basis iff Exist n. For Every real x.
~x=r -> d_n of r =/= d_n of x.
Of course all reals are to be represented by *INFINITE* binary decimal
expansions, so 0.12 is represented as 0.120000...
So we are not speaking about the same distinguishability criterion.
