The number 2 needs two instances of SOMETHING to make sense.
Yes, for example two unities.
Your point would be granted if 2 needs two instances of primary pieces
of matter, but that would beg the question.
There are no evidence for primary matter. If the logic X1* would
differ significantly from the logic of the observable quanta or
sensible qualia, *that* would be an evidence for some primary matter
hypothesis. But today, we have not yet found such evidences. Much more
work needs to be done. Both computationalism and QM give until now
evidences that there is no "scientifically meaningful" notion or
primary matter.
