Nzwisisa chii a nhamba yewadhi Haisi basa rakaomarara zvachose, pasingachave nedzidziso yekudzidza nezvazvo, iine rondedzero yakapusa chero munhu anofanirwa kuwana zano zvakanaka. Pachayo pachayo, iyo nhamba inoratidza iyo chaiyo chinzvimbo chemhando ipi neipi yechinhu mukati meyakaisirwa seti inonzi ordinal. Izvi zvinopa kupa kwakateedzana kwakanaka kune izvo zvinhu zvinoratidzwa mune yakataurwa seti, kuve nekuremekedzwa kurongeka, kuchisvika mukana wekuti iwo haana mugumo.
Semuenzaniso, zvakafanana nekutaura kuti iyo yekutanga nhamba (1) inoenda pamberi pechipiri (2), kuti yechipiri inowanikwa pamberi pechitatu (3), iyo yechitatu yakamiswa pamberi pechina (4) uye kuti izvi zvichaenda pamberi pechishanu (5) pachinzvimbo, kutora muenzaniso unozivikanwa, uye zvichingodaro ad infinitum.
Sezvakataurwa, yeuka kuti mutauro unotibvumidza isu kuti titaure kune isingaverengeke manhamba emhando yemhando.
Saka ngatidzidzei kubva 1 kusvika 20 manhamba akanyorwa manhamba.
