You have been wrong about sets. You assume that sets are invariable but you don't assume that all elements, here unit fractions, can be detected.

For each positive point x
for each number (cardinality) k which can increase by 1
there are more.than.k unit.fractions between 0 and x

Not yet an ass, an idiot? Shakespeare English?

For every x NUF increases by not more than 1.

 For every x>0 and x′>0
NUF increases by not more and not less than 0.

Wrong.
