From an Islamic perspective, there’s no such person who is neither Muslim nor kafir. A person who says he’s indifferent to Islam or kufr, is a kafir. It then follows, that by extension, there can be no such thing as indifference (i.e., a zero point of no walaa, no baraa) to a person, as a person is either a Muslim or a kafir. Therefore, the mathematical 0-point on the X-axis for a Muslim’s walaa/baraa behavior can allude only to actions/objects that in an of themselves are neither Islam nor kufr, the 0-point on the Y-axis; for example, cycling.

Other than the (0,0) point, our walaa and baraa is for people as well as actions, objects, etc.
