There are two ways of constructing a number line from -inf to +inf
The first, is that "nothing exists" to the left of -inf or to the right of +inf
The other, more useful, is that -inf=+inf+1 and +inf=-inf-1, (or -inf=+inf, never remember which is the more useful) and they form a loop.
Such as that constructed by a signed integer.
e.g.
e.g. with an 8 bit number
127+1 = -127
This has nothing to do with modulo afaik. (but all the basic construct stuff is related) and is more to do with every dimension being curved in another (meaning they always form such loops)
