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?

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 is at origin point on my real line, the x axis so to speak. It has an origin at 0. Fair enough?

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!

all of the signed imaginary parts go off axis. Say, wrt restricting complex numbers to the signed integers wrt y. (0), or 0+0i is still at origin... :^)
        +y
        ^
        |
-x  <-(0)-> +x
        |
        v
       -y
Fair enough? signed zero is still fun:
0+0i vs 0-0i, ala 0? ;^)
