No, no, null is not meaningful. That's the whole point. It is meaningful as neutral element of a ring, as center of a coordinate system or as limit of some function, sure, but only in comparison to other values and the other values are all that matters. Not having the other values, having literally nothing, the word ''having'' would be meaningless. There is always something. There's something about nihilism. It's being a self defeating argument, but educating. Then there's constructivism in various senses. There's something about finitism, too, computable numbers and what not. Infinity is rather ... monotonous. |

If you're going to look at more than just integers, infinity is everywhere, in between every number you can count, and then some! 0 is as meaningless but so is every other number!
If you limit to integers or even just whole numbers, 0 is meaningful, just like all the numbers...
