1.5 is the midpoint between 0 and infinity in Ruby

Well, if you map the contents of the unit circle (|z| < 1) through 1/z you can reach any point |z| > 1. So there really is no need to give unique names to anything beyond 1 as it's already contained in the proverbial nutshell of the unit circle via 1/z.

You don't even need the unit circle. The unit interval is enough, as is any set whose cardinality is aleph-1.

Parent (who meant disc not circle) didn't give a dimension. An interval is just a 1 dimensional disc.
