Do you think you need the boundary in my last example?
When we cover the real axis by intervals
--------_1_--------_2_--------_3_--------_4_--------_5_--------_...
J(n) = [n - √2/10, n + √2/10]
and shuffle them in a clever way, then all rational numbers are midpoints of intervals and no irrational number is outside of all intervals.
Do you believe this???
