Really existing sets of real unit fractions have two ends.
What is „an end”?
An end is where nothing follows.
Does it need to be a member of the set?

The end is a member of the set. But in many cases it is invisible and only proved by the fact that there is a smaller infimum or a larger supremum.

But not all sets have "ends" that are members of the set.
Your assumption that they do is just invalid.
For instance, the "end" of the set of x > 0 is the value x = 0, which is not a member of the set.
for *ANY* x > 0, it can't be the end, as x/2 will exists and be below it.
You can't get around it by calling it "invisible" as that isn't a defined term for this, just an artifact of your exploded to smithereens logic system that can't actually handle really infinite sets.
