a common concern this makes more lookable would be invertive 0. since 1 == invertive 1, 0 is kind of a different thing. like people decided imaginary numbers could be the square roots of negative numbers, we could use invertive zero as a special number to represent quotients with zero. for example 3 invertive zero is x such that 0x = 3
