I am not sure I understand. If the continuation uses non existent
numbers, the continuation does not exist, or it is an inconsistent
continuation, that is a cul-de-sac world. I can prove that 0 = 1, if
there is a natural number between 3 and 4.
A god cannot make disappear a natural number, nor introduce a natural
number where there is none. It seems to me.
Best,
