      i would argue that you can probably independently define an ordering mechanism. And then apply it.

      You can just pretend that 100 is 0. I see no reason this shouldn’t apply to everything else.

        What do you mean by independent? There is no more general and independent notion of ordering than a less-than operator. The article above oulines a mathematical proof that no such definition exists in a consistent way for the complex numbers.
