once you admitt quote
will even grant that, in a very technical sense, mathematicians don't know what numbers are, any more than any of us know what anything is.
there is a mystery which needs to be looked at
so lets look for the solution of the mystery COME ON PEOPLE |
Numbers are a differentiation of pieces of matter for the purpose of giving quantity. It uses reference to understand certain structures, and what would happen without them.
For example, one apple. One red thing you eat. You can eat that one apple, it is different from the chair. However, we add the apple and the chair together as pieces of matter. There are 58080809358058080 atoms altogether making up these objects. These objects give off energy fields, and are literal energy. Still on the apple-based reference you can only eat the matter that falls within "the one apple" and be "one healthy human", which is also not "one chair".
This is what math represents to me. Measuring things that, once differentiated, have different qualities and functions. Perhaps anyone would like to correct me?
