For a function F:(0,1)→Z into a complete metric space, the displayed pairwise condition is equivalent to existence of a limit as h→0+. Necessity follows from the triangle inequality. For sufficiency, the values F(1/(n+1)) form a Cauchy sequence, hence converge to some z∈Z. Given ε>0, use the pairwise condition with ε/2 and then send n→∞ in d(F(h),F(1/(n+1)))<ε/2. This gives d(F(h),z)≤ε/2<ε for every sufficiently small positive h.
