Reread the parent comment. In the hyperreals, the reals are extended by infintesmals and positive and negative infinity. Two things happen there: 1. You no longer have +:Z -> Z, you have +:R'->R', which means that plus can be closed under the hyperreals.
Also, yes, you can't literally compute an infinite sum but among any crowd that has likely taken calculus 1, you can place implied limits. :P (which, arent actually needed in the hyperreals because it HAS infinity, but whatever)
