Numbers are not reality, they are a representation of it
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12590388 Another way to look at it is that they are containers of information. If I see ripples on the surface of a pond, i am merely looking at displaced water molecules. There is no more water in the pond before the ripples than after, yet i can see the presence of something else. information has entered into the medium of the pond. Likewise numbers and letters may be representational...but their geometry is the indicator of information, something we can not see except through a medium of communication, yet we can recognize its presence. Information is more real than even the physical nature that serves to convey its presence. In that sense, numbers are indeed real things.
