Thanks Jon. I made a diagram to picture an (1) arbitrary x < A returning o and (2) an arbitrary x > a returning 00. (fn. 16 refers to P's Boole article 1870 and calls this latter "1.") I realize you have much more complex numbers and calculations in mind. But the idea of an arbitrary next smaller or greater x allows one to define a manageable boundary. Peirce calls these "ideals." But for instance, given a time, space, or proof length constraint, thus a finite condition, I must specify what an actual individual and a simple will be. Jim W 1.) 0 <--x....( (A1) ) 2.)
