That makes sense, but should that really be the x2? Or should there be= another predicate that we use to relate numbers and sequences? For example= , we could say:
x1 is a Cauchy sequence converging to limit x2 in= metric space x3.=A0

"porsrkoci" and "pornkoci" are both good, and are= different forms of the same
word (though the Book doesn't say that different rafsi of one gismu are=
equivalent, except in lujvo). The alternatives are a lujvo, which would be<= br> longish, and "kocis.zei.porsi", which is also longish. I'd go=
with "pornkoci".

I think the place structure should be "x1 (sequence) is a Cauchy= sequence in
x1 (metric space)". I know a sequence of rational numbers which conver= ges to
+3 in the real numbers and to -3 in the 2-adic numbers. There are Cauchy sequences of rational numbers which don't converge to any rational numb= er,
and there are sequences of rational numbers which are Cauchy sequences in o= ne
metric but not in another.
