  /- First, we define a surjective map from a closed subset `s` of `ℕ → ℕ`. Then, we compose
    this map with a retraction of `ℕ → ℕ` onto `s` to obtain the desired map.
    Let us consider a dense sequence `u` in `α`. Then `s` is the set of sequences `xₙ` such that the
    balls `closedBall (u xₙ) (1/2^n)` have a nonempty intersection. This set is closed,
    and we define `f x` there to be the unique point in the intersection.
    This function is continuous and surjective by design. -/
