So what does happen if you divide one by zero?
either 1 / 0 = 0
or
1 / 0 = 0.0r1
My intuition is the latter. Which makes me think that 0.0r1 is a coherent concept, and that it is the difference between 0.9r and 1.

Total brain fart.
I was thinking about dividing by infinity.
Ahem...

I think this is an impossible construction.
Infinity is not a number. It is a concept defined in terms of numbers but it is not itself a number. No number is infinite.
