fwiw, all of us computer graphics people literally treat infinity as a point, both from a mathematical sense (an old trick for dynamic shadows in the 2000s relied on projective geometry and parallel lines intersecting at infinity) and from a handwavy sense (we abuse floating point denormals and infinity representations for shader bit tricks)

@mathemagical @soaproot @highergeometer I know all about infinity in the projective geometry sense! (I have a PhD in projective geometry.)
