I think it was Albert Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus who said that even with math we are eventually reduced to poetry and art in describing things that which we can not comprehend, as a graph is really an artistic expression of a concept that is essentially meaningless in the form we are expressing it. Thats why people use computers to analyze and create graphs for things that are beyond us. For example, the field of chaos theory, the mathematical definition and properties of chaos, is heavily dependent on numerical analysis and the creation of graphs to look at and analyze. Humans are of course impeded by their perception, I would argue that the 0 division you speak of is a fundamental piece of our universe, that has been boiled down to something we will never fully be able to interface our conscious with, like you said. I believe math is an all seeing eye. Reaching into the depth of the nuance of our universe that we will never touch.
