SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the limits of absolute values within metric spaces, specifically examining the conditions under which the limit of distances converges to a specific value, ε. It is established that if $\lim_{{k}\to{\infty}}d\left({x}_{m\left(k\right)},{x}_{m\left(k\right)-1}\right)=\varepsilon$ and $\lim_{{k}\to{\infty}}d\left({x}_{n\left(k\right)},{x}_{m\left(k\right)}\right)=\varepsilon$, then it can be inferred that $\lim_{{k}\to{\infty}}d\left({x}_{n\left(k\right)},{x}_{m\left(k\right)-1}\right)=\varepsilon$ using the triangle inequality. The metric $d$ is confirmed to correspond to a metric on the metric space $(X,d)$.
