Nope, here you are going "from right to left" (on the real line).

You see, 1/1 is larger than, say, 1/2, hence on "the real line" 1/1 is RIGHT from 1/2. No?

Actually, my real line is, say

So, left to right with origin at zero, all the positive numbers, sya the granularity or density is the natural numbers, starting at zero the origin of the real line:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
0 is at origin point on my real line, the x axis so to speak. It has an origin at 0. Fair enough?
Left of zero, or origin if you will, is negative, right of zero is positive...
See?
my real line with the density of the signed integers:
x-axis: - <-(-2)<-(-1)<-(0)->(+1)->(+2)-> +
The sign of zero is interesting here... ;^)
(0) is origin!
