A spiral

Let O be the countable set of all infinite rational number sequences which are ultimately but not identically zero, and let H contain those elements in O whose last nonzero element is positive. With respect to O, define H. Then f(x)=x is a bijection from H to H.

Also, H looks like a spiral. To see that, require the last nonzero element to be the first, then the second, and then the third one, and watch this sequence of subsets twist into a new dimension at each step.

That's really something! A spiral whose reflection in the origin is its complement.
