Not sure that alephs have anything to do with it.  And unless I'm
missing something, minus aleph(0) is nonsense. (How do you define the
negation of a cardinal?)

"""The aleph numbers differ from the infinity (∞) commonly found in
algebra and calculus. Alephs measure the sizes of sets; infinity, on
the other hand, is commonly defined as an extreme limit of the real
number line (applied to a function or sequence that "diverges to
infinity" or "increases without bound"), or an extreme point of the
extended real number line. While some alephs are larger than others, ∞
is just ∞."""
