What is a number

                                        What is a number?

Why does “a” thing have to be continuous within itself?

The number ‘one’/’1’ means a ‘continuity’. One of anything is a continuity of something, within it. One physical entity is a sameness in something of that thing, within it. (Conversely continuity is ‘one’/’1’). 

Thus, any number is a discontinuity of continuities.

3 is 3 discontinuous continuities.

A natural number ‘n’ is n discontinuous continuities.
