.999 to infinity is not 1.000 to infinity, it’s an incongruity and noted as such in math texts.

The error is in the perspective.
A value is not a continuum.

If you have ONE pumpkin, you can cut it into 3 portions and put them back together again. You would still have a pumpkin.
The pumpkin doesn’t magically fill all time and space when you put it back together from its equal parts.

I think you have failed to limit your thinking on this subject.
