\documentclass{article} \title{The Representable Continuum Set} \author{Anton Salikhmetov} \begin{document} \maketitle \begin{abstract} This paper introduces a new mathematical structure representing all rational numbers’ sequences that can be defined to provide a countable replacement for the usual continuum set of real numbers, the question whether it is appropriate, say, for physics being still open. \end{abstract} The Representable Continuum Set consists of all combinators that are computable for all Church numerals and for each Church numeral return a lambda expression of the list form ${\lambda x. x b [m] [n]}$, where $m$ and $n$ are natural numbers, and $b$ is a boolean value representing sign, which corresponds to a rational number ${\pm m / n}$. If $S_i$ is the corresponding rational number for ${(M [i])}$, an element $M$ from this set is considered as ${\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{i = 0}^n S_i}$. \end{document}
