Strange zero = the sum of > 0 elements = 0 with structure.
To have 0 dollars is not the same as to have x dollars and owe x dollars.

you can't "sum" 0 elements because the sum operator is not defined over an empty set. Your question doesn't make sence to me.

Nope. They are both the same thing in the end. Good old zero. Why does it matter how you got there? By your reasoning, there would be no point for any numbers.
8=2+6, and 8=4+4, but it is still the same 8. Same with 0. You are way overthinking something.
