Logic doesn't help. It works with words. Words are not trustworthy. Only numbers are what we can rely on.
A0. To express a notion a word or a group of words (i.e. in a language) is required (a fact) A1. Numbers and numerical formulas perfectly describe and define the nature (a fact of Physics) P1. Let assume notions exist P2. There are two types of notions: numerical (about numbers), or non-numerical (a priori fact) P3. If a certain notion isn't numerical, a word or a group of words is required (from A0 and P2) P4. There is no limit to use another new synonym, or there's no limit to create another new synonym (a linguistic fact) C. There are no limits to express a notion in a non-numerical way.
Just pay attention to how you solve math and logical puzzles. If the former are formalization of different situations or event into a digital form, than the latter is to formalize the same into words. Since there are no limit to write down everything and put a dot at the end claiming - nothing else cannot be added here!, then it must be obvious that the math is the only one route to understand the world.
Yes, math does not describe us anything in the way we're using it daily, but anyway we can use it and calculate anything.

Math was created as a language to explain things either how to build them how many of them there are so on and so forth and that's why we created numbers. Numbers didn't create us. We don't live in Matrix. Instead, we live in the brother Wachowsky's movie. I didn't object to math as a tool. It seems to be it. But that's not the whole truth. There are lots of mathematicians who workamd create stuff no physicist can apply (e.g. the Barnach-Tarski paradox). The same is about some physicists whose works has no realizations in math (e.g. the principle of addition, the Boltzano's brains). I feel like you're taking an opposite stance on the subject? At first it sounded like you were saying numbers were the end all meets all and now it sounds like you're agreeing with me that they're just a language I'm confused

For instance, making different inferences can be an example why numbers are the one and the only. What is necessity between "The Moon is dark" and "Waves come periodically"? If you're in math mode (as a tool, of course) g(m)=0,13 f(w)=g(x)×0.23x. What are all these "moons", "waves", "darkness"? Who is the bravest to give us an ultimately final answer? However, saying f(x)=y is possible for many if not for everything.

And one day several thousand years ago we came up with a way of tracking things and so we came up with the language called numbers But the key here is that we first had a problem (things needing to be accounted for ) then we made the solution (inventing numbers and signing them to quantities) so why would you want to believe that numbers are before the things they were created to account for? It seems like a joke it's so nonsensical.

Just having fun playing wordy games.

If the universe results in numbers, and the universe is a series of forms, then forms result in numbers. If the universe is made of numbers, and the universe is a series of forms, then forms are made of numbers. Numbers are inseparable from forms. Ok, let's assume this, then if something is something, then this something is something only as (the) one. While because for anything if this anything is something, it must be that something, but to be it, it has to be different to something else, or being separated from that. Otherwise, how can that something be what it is? So, it's impossible to avoid two (the two) as primary to one (or the one?), however is it correct? Because if the one is the one, and the two is the two, then the one has to be prior to the two, and the two be posterior to the one. I think I have to repeat myself: • there's no something without comparing it to something else • if something is not something, then there are no numbers (so at this level your thesis is good) • ...or if something isn't something, it is the one (the whole or the unit), but this time the number is prior to the forms. The "One" is the quantification of all forms in there totality; the "One" can be equated to the non-numerical description of "The Total".

Ok, let's assume this, then if something is something, then this something is something only as (the) one. While because for anything if this anything is something, it must be that something, but to be it, it has to be different to something else, or being separated from that. Otherwise, how can that something be what it is? So, it's impossible to avoid two (the two) as primary to one (or the one?), however is it correct? Because if the one is the one, and the two is the two, then the one has to be prior to the two, and the two be posterior to the one. I think I have to repeat myself: • there's no something without comparing it to something else • if something is not something, then there are no numbers (so at this level your thesis is good) • ...or if something isn't something, it is the one (the whole or the unit), but this time the number is prior to the forms. The "One" is the quantification of all forms in there totality; the "One" can be equated to the non-numerical description of "The Total". Might be. Plato's Parmenides is exactly about it. And how many Ones Plato had found? - Eight of them. Eight cases. Not just one and the only.

If the universe results in numbers, and the universe is a series of forms, then forms result in numbers. If the universe is made of numbers, and the universe is a series of forms, then forms are made of numbers. Numbers are inseparable from forms. Ok, let's assume this, then if something is something, then this something is something only as (the) one. While because for anything if this anything is something, it must be that something, but to be it, it has to be different to something else, or being separated from that. Otherwise, how can that something be what it is? So, it's impossible to avoid two (the two) as primary to one (or the one?), however is it correct?

The totality of being is without comparison. 2. If something is not something, ie P=-P, then numbers both exist and not exist considering P requires P=P and -P requires -P=-P. The numbers exist as numbers, P=P, and the numbers exist as non-numbers, P=-P, much in the same manner numbers are forms. 3. The one does not come prior to the totality and the totality does not come prior to the one because both the totality and the one equivocate.
