There's your problem: "etc"

 

Not trying to go all the way – really trying to chase down some hypothetical 
candidate for prime mover. What could have kicked it off – from a hypothesized 
nothing that was before time and anything else. Assuming, for the sake of 
discussion that there was a theory of everything, out of nothing, then what do 
you think the very first prime agent or entity might be that could get 
everything going from nothing at all… from the nothing that encompasses 
everything?

Is it because you feel that pure mathematical structures are an insufficient 
foundation for reality? This is a commonly held view by many physicists (very 
likely the majority)

Or is it because you don’t think that sets plus simple summation, negation and 
equivalence operations along with the property of perspective is sufficient. 
Can the concept of a countable series arise out from sets or do numbers at 
least the first number one and then all others derived through the application 
of summation to create a new number entity (e.g. the sum of the inputs) each 
time.

Not professing that I know any answers… but I must admit I find this to be a 
fascinating problem.
