Re: [If/then and sequences...]
It gives us a way of arbitrarily, yet consistently, ordering a set of
sequences. In other words, it enables us to know with 100% accuracy, where a
given sequence is in an ordered set of sequences. The rules employed to
determine which of two sequences comes first is arguably immaterial, as long
as they always work the same way.
