I think this is a natural number discussion, therefore, you can't assume
anything about the decimal point's existance.

I suppose the first cardinal assumes the universe exists contained inside
the first cardinal's head but contempt for yourself may lead to the second
cardinal... What is the second cardinal? Probably the undetectable neutral
