-    (3): Let $\rho$ be a continuous seminorm on $E$ and $P \in \scp([a, b])$, then by assumption (a),
-    \[
-    V_{\rho, P}(f) = \sum_{j = 1}^n \rho(f(x_j) - f(x_{j - 1}))
-    = \lim_{g, \fF}\sum_{j = 1}^n \rho(g(x_j) - g(x_{j - 1}))
-    = \lim_{g \in \fF}V_{\rho, P}(g)
-    \]
+    (3): Let $\rho$ be a continuous seminorm on $E$, $P = \seqf{x_j} \in \scp([a, b])$, and $f \in \overline{\bracs{[\cdot]_{\text{var}, \rho} \le M}}$. For any $\eps > 0$, there exists $g \in \bracs{[\cdot]_{\text{var}, \rho} \le M}$ such that $\rho(f(x_j) - g(x_j)) < \eps$ for each $1 \le j \le n$. In which case, 
+    \begin{align*}
+    V_{\rho, P}(f) &= \sum_{j = 1}^n \rho(f(x_j) - f(x_{j - 1})) \\
+    &\le 2n\eps + \sum_{j = 1}^n \rho(g(x_j) - g(x_{j - 1})) \\
+    &\le V_{\rho, P}(g) + 2n\eps \le M + 2n\eps
+    \end{align*}
+    
 
-    By assumption (b), $[0, M_\rho]$ is in the filter generated by $V_{\rho, P}(\fF)$. Thus $V_{\rho, P}(f) \le M_\rho$. As this holds for all $P \in \scp([a, b])$, $V_{\rho, P}(f) \le M_\rho$, and $f \in BV([a, b]; E)$.
+    As the above holds for all $\eps > 0$, $V_{\rho, P}(f) \le M$. Since this holds for all $P \in \scp([a, b])$, $[f]_{\text{var}, \rho} \le M$.
