Whats the meaning of this symbol?
Its a three dot symbol: ∴

This is about continuum property of the natural numbers and the archimedean property:

for some $n\in\mathbb{N}$,

An answer on how the three-dot symbol is what I am out after. Additional explanation of the proof would be nice to know as well, but not needed.
