 No, you falsely assume that all natnumbers can be defined.

But they have been.

 

Almost all unit fractions
cannot be discerned by definable real numbers.

 Try to define more unit fractions than remain undefined.

But none are.

Try to understand the function NUF(x) which starts with 0 at 0 and after 1 cannot change to 2 without pausing for an interval consisting of uncountably many real points.

Bucause NUF(x) has an illogical definition, it assumes something that doesn't exist.

 

Don't you claim that
every unit fraction can be discerned, i.e. separated from the smaller ones by a real number?

½⋅(⅟n+⅟(n+1)) existing is discerning?
I did not know that.

 Giving a real number _by its digits or as a fraction_ which is between two unit fractions discerns the larger one and its larger predecessors.

So? That doesn't show that there is a smallest one.
You really need to get the peanut butter out from between your ears.
