JM: everything. First you had to learn and subjectively accept the meaning of the sign '+' and then the sign '=' without which subjective input you would consider 2 plus 2 as 22 - unless you are also missing the personally and subjectively absorbed meaning of a "twoness" , in which case you can frame the expression as an abstract picture.
