In classical arithmetic, addition and subtraction with zero preserve values, but multiplication erases and division collapses. By extending the neutrality of n+0=n and n-0=n to all operations, we propose n*0=n and n/0=n. The result is a coherent and symmetrical arithmetic where zero changes nothing.
