What are numbers? Episode I

#whatmakesittick#numbers#philosophy
Think you know all about numbers? Philosophers still disagree on what they’re all about.
Note: Even though the name refers to Plato, a lot of the work on our understanding of this theory comes from Gottlob Frege.

So I was looking for a website that actually had the green squares like in this video.

I would claim numbers are built from images

Example, 4 always represents 4 images, like 4 squares for instance.


1. The main idea here is that maths is built from images


(a) example, geometry is clearly made of images

b) example 2, We claim numbers are built from images too, as say 4, always represents 4 images, like 4 squares for instance.

C) imaginary numbers are connected to images too, which is why they have applications in physics

D) In general any mathematical symbol that comes to mind is connected to images too

"a colection of no and how is that a problem? and why wouldnt represent a real situation?
If u dont have trees in your house, how u represent the set of trees in your house?
Thats the empty set, theres no problem here nor contradiction nor paradox.
If i dont have apples in my hand, how many apples in my hand do i have?
Nothing, the hand is empty of apples, that is another example in reality of the empty set.
