14424 | Numbers are needed for counting, so they need a meaning, and not just formal properties [Russell] |
14120 | Counting explains none of the real problems about the foundations of arithmetic [Russell] |
17424 | Counting puts an initial segment of a serial ordering 1-1 with some other entities [Sicha] |
