I’m curious, what’s higher than nonzero? Since any positive, finite number is nonzero, are we looking at an ℵ₀ audience?

Begone pedant, and feast thine eyes on the surreal numbers [0]! > In mathematics, the surreal number system is a totally ordered proper class containing not only the real numbers but also infinite and infinitesimal numbers, respectively larger or smaller in absolute value than any positive real number. (Also, go look at the `fil` unit in TeX for a good practical application of this ;).) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal_number https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal_number
