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.
