  I should put it a little bit differently:

((0) < (-)) || (< = (+)) for ((0) (+) (-))
((0) > (-)) || (> = (-))  for ((0) (-) (-))
Where:
c = (+)300,000kps
(+)
(0=0)
(-)
c = (-)300,000kps
(c=c)

For the observer / traveler (||(0)||) then (where the direction of motion is 
(<--) and cosmological constant is (0)):

(<--)
((0) < (-)||(0)||(0) > (-))
((0) (+) (-)||(0)||(0) (-) (-))
(<--)

  I'm certain you're still not going to see it.
