Are Natural Numbers Truly Immutable? Or Just a Mathematical Convention?
Joan Balaguer Ardanuy8mo10

I only hope to receive a sufficiently humble and thoughtful response, with a prudent and comprehensive willingness to read my full doubts before answering.

In short, I solemnly suggest reading carefully before offering a hasty response. I mention this because, just five minutes after publishing my question on Mathematics Exchange, I received nothing but a closure resolution and a seemingly polite yet condescending comment asking me if I knew how to count.

I strongly suspect that no one took the time to properly read and engage with the philosophical context I was proposing regarding the conventions of Natural Numbers.

I share this here with the sole hope of receiving a respectful and sufficiently polite response from anyone willing to truly meditate on the questions I am raising.
