   >>>>>>>> it's also a pdf and CDF of the natural integers at uniform random,   
   >>>>>>>> of which there are others, because there are at least three laws   
   >>>>>>>> of large numbers, at least three Cantor spaces, at least three   
   >>>>>>>> models of continuous domains, and, at least three probability   
   >>>>>>>> distributions of the naturals at uniform random.   
   >>>>>>>>   
   >>>>>>>> So, "iota-values" are not the same thing as the raw differential,

   >>>>>>>> not- the- raw- differential yet only as under the integral bar   
   >>>>>>>> in the formalism, yet representing about the solidus or divisor bar   
   >>>>>>>> the relation of two quantities algebraically, then indeed there's   
   >>>>>>>> that "iota-values" are as of some "standard infinitesimals", yet   
   >>>>>>>> only under the limit of function the "natural/unit equivalency
