>Wikipedia has a dearth of proofs of this.

That wikipedia article is notorious for it's endlessly huge talk pages. I've participated in them. Also look up "Dearth" in the dictionary. Also, see pic.

>No, it's =1 by how we define "..."

But you haven't defined "...".

>This implies red = 1= green.

Circular logic again. Even given my stated premise that .999... isn't 1, you keep assuming it is in order to "disprove" it.

>0 ≤ x < 1 => red
>1 ≤ x < 2 => green

Clear as mud. You knew what I was saying with the first equation - it succeeded in communicating the idea. Drop this on some random person and see how long it takes for them to figure it out without your help.

>n = 1-x, no reason to include the ... operator anywhere in this.

No. X is a singular fixed value.
