A chemical atomic number, as a unique form of matter, is composed of polar opposite electrical charges that generate a special (polar) logical operation called valence that operates only on one of the pair of polar opposites. It can never be a variable in the sense of the Cartesian axis system, which is the sense of Quine categorical error. This is factual realism. Cheers Jerry
