Wow, that's weird hock: I am interested in finding this out in detail.

Numbers as we know them (1, 2, 3...etc.) are constructs meant to represent those potentialities. We didn't have to pick a system such as 1, 2, 3...etc. We could have used different ideas to present the concept of value and multiplicity.


Btw, I'm not talking about base-10 or whatever. Base-10, base-2, base-8, and so on are all merely different forms of the same construct. Humans just naturally started using these systems to represent the concept that we know as numbers.

This is essentially where I'm getting at, but well-explained
