Actually, my real line is, say

....-1...0...+1...

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

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

Left of zero, or origin if you will, is negative, right of zero is 
positive...

See?
