  The following document presents a proof that the Continuum is uncountable.
  It is formalised in the Isabelle/Isar theorem proving system.

  \<^bold>\<open>Theorem:\<close> The Continuum \<open>\<real>\<close> is not denumerable. In other words, there does
  not exist a function \<open>f: \<nat> \<Rightarrow> \<real>\<close> such that \<open>f\<close> is surjective.

  \<^bold>\<open>Outline:\<close> An elegant informal proof of this result uses Cantor's
  Diagonalisation argument. The proof presented here is not this one.

  First we formalise some properties of closed intervals, then we prove the
  Nested Interval Property. This property relies on the completeness of the
  Real numbers and is the foundation for our argument. Informally it states
  that an intersection of countable closed intervals (where each successive
  interval is a subset of the last) is non-empty. We then assume a surjective
  function \<open>f: \<nat> \<Rightarrow> \<real>\<close> exists and find a real \<open>x\<close> such that \<open>x\<close> is not in the
  range of \<open>f\<close> by generating a sequence of closed intervals then using the
  Nested Interval Property.
