Answer
The correct formulation states that there exists a positive real number r such that for all x greater than 1, the inequality ( \frac{\ln x}{x^3} < r ) holds true. This corresponds to the essence of the original statement, which implies that no matter what positive number r is chosen, a corresponding x can be found that adheres to the inequality.
