Jim doesn't mention fpt ranges in the context of arrays.
Just a floating point type whose values range between 0.0 and 1.0.
And a description of the use of this type that has a range constraint.
No arrays or signs in sight.

Forget about the sign, as you did in your code with min and max.
This is not a sign issue. This isn't limited to array bounds
checking. It has to do with types and with values that match at compile
time.
 For a start, add a template parameter to class range from which
the compiler can infer the min and max values.
