So, following your cycle looks like this: Open box 7, find number 2
Open box 2, find number 2700
Open box 2700, find number -16
Open box -16, find number 0.9
Open box 0.9, find number ℵ
Open box ℵ, find number 赢
Open box 赢, find number two
...
As you can see, it's not necessary to use numeric digits to identify the boxes; any identifier at all will do.But this is a cycle; if we had started by opening box 0.9, it would look like this: Open box 0.9, find number ℵ
Open box ℵ, find number 赢
Open box 赢, find number two
...
Open box 7, find number 2
Open box 2, find number 2700
Open box 2700, find number -16
Open box -16, find number 0.9
