Natural numbers in their usual order

The diagram expands a source loop. In that loop, the current loop value successively takes the values zero through five. Each displayed value is less than the next. After five the diagram continues, and so on. Thus, from left to right: zero is less than one, one is less than two, two is less than three, three is less than four, four is less than five, and the sequence continues. End diagram.
