The figure didn't grab me, but as for a doubled infinity,
I recall internet text about a theory drawing tubes from
any number to zero, that proves that there is an infinity
in the positive side of zero, and another infinity in the
negative side of zero, which can only be done at zero for
some reason. So zero might be like one's ever-present now.
