    Dark unit fractions are smaller than any visible unit fractions

    Define visible?

    The simplest definition is this: A visible number can be expressed
    in decimals or binaries.

    Can be? Or is? Or has previously been?

    Is or has previously been. If not yet expressed in the system, it is
    dark in the system. But small dark numbers can become visisble. (They
    have been called grey numbers.)

    Oh no! Grey numbers? You're pulling my leg now huh? How would you
    distinguish a small enough dark or grey number from a fully dark larger
    number?

    Grey numbers are not my idea. They can only be distinguished after
    having become visible. Dark numbers cannot be distinguished.
    Whose then? How do you make them visible? Aren’t all numbers grey then?
