If an integer-valued monotone sequence (an​) is nondecreasing and bounded above by M, it can increase strictly at most ⌊M⌋−a1​ times. Thus its values eventually remain constant. Such sequences are determined by a finite initial list followed by a constant tail, so their collection is a countable set.
