Counting is the most primitive version of addition.

Counting is not addition at all.

So you cannot even count, in your infinite unphysical mind?

Counting precedes adding, in that one may count when unable to add.

But how is one able to add without being able to count?

A primitive version of counting, from which the word "calculus"
allegedly derives, is Greek shepherds in classical times counting their
flocks by pairing off their sheep with pebbles (calculi).
