Numbers are symbols for distinguishing identities. One way of using numbers as symbols is Wikidata Q identifier in Wikidata.
Important References
Tobiaz Dantzig has a book called: Number: The language of science[1]. More over, Bob Coecke stated the following:
In the video titled:Quantum Natural Language Processing - CQC's Ilyas Khan and Bob Coecke[2], Bob Coecke stated that Monoidal Category is the most primal structure in the worldCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many.
It is my scientific belief that everything pretty much is monoidal category and that instead of counting, it should have started with monoidal category. Bob Coecke in Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many.
This implies that Monoidal Category can be treated as a kind of generic computable structure, in other words, a special kind of number.
Quotation
Ten cycles of the moon the Roman year comprised:
This number then was held in high esteem,
Because, perhaps, on fingers we are wont to count,
Or that a woman in twice five months brings forth,
Or else that numbers wax till ten they reach
And then from one begin their rhythm anew.
— Ovid, Fasti, IIICite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many.
Floating Point Number
Floating point(Q117879) is a computable data format for representing real numbers.
To learn more about kinds of numbers, one can watch the following:
