How is 0.999... a fixed object?  Is there some way you're getting 0.999... that I do not know of?  

Are we talking about two different 0.999...'s because I don't think it would be a fixed object.

If we talk about 1/9 * 9 or 1/3 * 3 (or whatever else way people use to get 0.999 and 1 being the same thing), to some extent I agree that those two numbers are representing the same thing.  I do not agree, however, that 0.999... as an infinity is 1. 

It's fixed in the same way that Pi or E are fixed.

Not really.
