Number and the conception of number are the same thing. That's why it's
an abstract concept. There could be no number 2 without the concept of
two things being similar and so in the same class. Without this
conceptual relation, s() would just be marks on paper.

A scientific theory requires some assumptions/postulates/axioms, and all
scientists assume the numbers with addition and multiplication (or something
Turing equivalent). We cannot explain the number with anything less than a
universal machinery. It happens that the natural numbers with + and * provides
a simple universal machinery, and with computationalism, all the rest must be
deduce from it (if the goal is to get a theory which handles both matter and
consciousness).
