The completeness axiom states that for sequences of real numbers, being a Cauchy sequence is logically equivalent to being a convergent sequence. This means that every Cauchy sequence converges to a limit within the real numbers, implying there are no "holes" in the real number line.
Conditions: The sequences consist of real numbers.; The context is the field of real numbers R.

A sequence (an)n∈N is a Cauchy sequence if for every positive ε, there exists a natural number N such that for all indices n,m≥N, the distance between the corresponding terms satisfies ∣an−am∣<ε.
Conditions: The sequence consists of real numbers.; The condition must hold for every ε>0.; The threshold N may depend on ε.; Both indices n and m must be greater than or equal to N.
