The first commit very slightly sharpens the construction by making
j
a tiny bit smaller. (With the current definition ofj
, even the numbersx_0, ..., x_{n+1}
will be relatively prime; a fact we don't need.)The second commit adds an explicit witness to the relative primality of the
x_i
, obtained from the argument given in the text by proof mining. Personally, I'm interested in such things, but if you feel that the new footnote is a distraction, then please feel free to not merge the second commit.I stumbled on the Open Logic Project only a couple of days ago. I'm amazed by its scope and quality. Thank you for your hard work in maintaining this project!
