Prove that: Intersection to infinity for n=1 (sign of intersection with infinity on top and n=1 in the bottom) of (0,1/n)=empty.
(Notice that this demonstrates that the interval in the Nested Interval Property must be closed for the conclusion of the theorm to hold.)

    We can construct a map f from any ternary expansion sum a_i (1/3)^i, a_i = 0,2 to the cantor set by using the nested intervals property of the real numbers. That is, any sequence a_i =0,2 defines a nested series of closed intervals I_n as follows.
