Numbers are experiences. You have one experience and another experience, which, when reviewed, are composited. Numbers have unique experiential meaning. Even the development of sets derives from experience because mathematics is generalization-- but generalization itself is sequitur to experience-- where intuition and mind discover the synergetic inter-behavior that is not implicit in any of the data of the past.
The mathematician talks of “pure imaginary numbers” on the false assumption that mathematics could be a priori to experience. All number awareness is discovered through experiences, which are all special cases. Every time you write a number-- every time you say, or Write, or read a number-- you see clusters and clusters are an experience. Conscious thinking of number, subjective and objective, are always special case.
