    I love maths and science. I chose them as majors at high school.

    That said, I think that numbers are abstract concepts and don't exist in a physical sense. Therefore, your question is moot.

    Platonic realism is a nice thought experiment. Not real though.

    Operators exist whether numbers do or not. But they do; 3,9, 4; see!

    That would not follow because several operators can produce the one and same outcome.
