The infinite-sequence monotonicity determination claim

About 11 years old · traced to

Let an∣n=d4aa_n|_{n=d4a} be a sequence evaluated at infinity, and let zz denote a relation in ∗G*G. Infinite-sequence monotonicity claim. The monotonicity of an∣n=d4aa_n|_{n=d4a} can be determined by solving for zz in

an+1  z  an∣n=d4a,a_{n+1}\;z\;a_n|_{n=d4a},

or, when it exists, by using the continuous version

a(n+1)  z  a(n).a(n+1)\;z\;a(n).

This is proposed as a method for determining monotonicity by comparing successive terms, extending the analogous derivative-based approach for continuous functions. The source gives no resolution.
