<div>Hi, Brad.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The problem is depth-first message passing. And, in PD, if one outlet connects to two things, the messages are sent in the order the connections were made... which you can't tell by looking.</div>
<div>If you insert a [print] object after your [+ 1] object, you will see that it always outputs 0 before outputting another number. This is because it first sends its output to the [route], which follows its chain of messages through all the way to the [-1( message, BEFORE sending the same output to the [float] object. So after 4, it outputs 0 and 5, then 0 and 6, etc. It sends its result twice, and the second one replaces the -1 message to the float. Solving it would be as simple as deleting the connection to the [route] object and reconnecting it, so that that message is sent last.
</div>

<div>Also, I don't know if it matters, but the loadbang means that a 0 is sent on opening. You could just make the float object -1 instead of 0, and delete the loadbang, unless you want an initial 0 output on opening.</div>
