It is an unbounded end.

Sets of real.line.points and
real.line.points
are not the same things.
In particular
they do not "approach" any other point.
Define β as
the greatest.lower.bound of visiblesᵂᴹ ⅟ℕᵈᵉᶠ
β = glb.⅟ℕᵈᵉᶠ
Positive β requires impossibilities.
It requires that ½.β
both IS and IS NOT
undercut by a visibleᵂᴹ unit.fraction.
0 = glb.⅟ℕᵈᵉᶠ
0 is not.in ⅟ℕᵈᵉᶠ
but no gap exists between 0 and ⅟ℕᵈᵉᶠ
(No positive.lower.bound.)
⅟ℕᵈᵉᶠ does not change. (Sets do not change.)
We use "approach" to say "no gap".
