0.999... is an abstract concept coming from a decimal point of view.
even numbers that seem to approach one number like 0.999... = 1 does not seem to make sense in the base - 6 system like pic related.
The argument is invalid because no limit is able to properly describe something that possesses no universal and constant interpretation.
999999999999 (base 10) = 2043221010301343 (base 6)
99999999999999999999999999999 (base 10) = 13410053220220505230542220000442244404 (base 6)
Consider base 36 : 0.999... gets close to 1, but an even closer approximation would be 0.ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..., and each time you get closer to 1 you get closer to 1/infinity = epsilon, which is the same amount as zero or nearly close to it which should be negligible.
