On looking closer, I should have written the infinite case like
a_1, a_2, a_4, a_7, a_11
a_3, a_5, a_8, a_12
a_6, a_9, a_13
a_10, a_14
a_15
so, the differences between indexes proceeds
1,2,3,4,
2,3,4,
3,4,
4
Thus every rational number maps to rational numbers either through becoming eventually constant or by having a repeating sequence that recurs in each derived sequence relative to modulo arithmetic.
Thanks.
