But this evidence does not convince you that what you suspect to be
numbers and sets does not at all exist?

I have never seen a triangle, only "pictures" representing them, but I
do not doubt their mathematical existence.





The collections of names and representations *are* the
numbers. The ghosts are imagined nonsense.

As there is no finite limit to the set of 'names' for any single number,
and there are 'names' for which no umber exists I do not identify names
with things named. "The map is not the territory".
