Increasing quantity has no lower (or upper) bound (and gives a representation of negative numbers) vs. increasing quantity has lower (and/or upper) bound.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`All left examples have a clear "zero" value, but it may be unclear which side is meant to be positive and which side is meant to be negative (See BP893^left for quantities without clear notion of increase/decrease.)`
	CROSSREFS	`See BP353^left for looping quantities; these do not clearly represent positive and negative numbers, but they can likewise unboundedly decrease and increase.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP347 BP348 BP349 BP350 BP351 * BP353 BP354 BP355 BP356 BP357`

BP353

Increasing quantity loops back to starting value vs. increasing quantity cannot loop back to starting value.

BP365

Two independent quantities changing simultaneously vs. a single quantity is changing.

BP824

Objects shown chosen from collection in an ordered, algorithmic way vs. random choices involved.

BP870

Increasing quantity has upper bound (will get "stopped" by something) vs. not so.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`Related to BP380.`
	CROSSREFS	`Adjacent-numbered pages: BP865 BP866 BP867 BP868 BP869 * BP871 BP872 BP873 BP874 BP875`

BP893

As one quantity increases an equally obvious opposite quantity decreases vs. there is only one obvious quantity, which increases as the sequence progresses right.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`Another way of phrasing the solution: "Neither direction would more naturally be called increase in quantity vs. rightward progression would be called an increase."` `Most right examples shown are unboundedly increasing, since finite sequences showing a quantity increasing usually also suggest "distance to end of sequence" as a decreasing opposite quantity. Even so, there are some finite sequences with one direction more intuitively increase-like than the other.`
