What if we don't define 0 as 0, but as "everything which is not this thing"? Strictly philosophically, this is the only thing which makes sense. A thing is only a thing, _nothing_ else. Doing so would enable division by zero, while keeping the field axioms.

Example, is any algebreic number (including ones divided by this definition of zero). The set of numbers is the set of all numbers which isn't . In other words, is 0, in the perspective of .

Calculating would then become every a infinitely large set of numbers. But the key point is that division by zero actually would be defined.

Now I'm just an engineer though, so I might take shortcuts which aren't allowed.
