@eigenknight Every positive real number r, including every positive integer, is realized as ∑ 1/k for k in some set A, since we can simply keep adding k to A, when the current sum is still not exceeding r. Since 1/k→0, we will get as close as desired this way, realizing the target sum.

Whenever I see a set of concepts arranged into a snappy acronym I assume that the wording and ordering (and maybe even which concepts specifically were included) leave a lot to be desired in terms of clarity.

That thing where you distractedly walk into a restroom and then 5 seconds later suddenly remember the huge “M” on the door is “Mujeres”, not “Men.”
