going left to right, so to speak, The first one in the infinity is:

1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ...

Going the other way around is impossible unless we explicitly define a 
finite step, say, 1/4 is the largest, rofl!

1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1/1, wtf, ...?

Huh? WM is backwards? This must be his origin of a so called "most" 
largest and very dark natural number, indeed? Yikes!
