It is an awfully silly idea and is basically a waste of everyone's time. You will predictably disregard this thought and focus on more sensible objectives at once.

>What is math
You take ideas from your brain of two types
starting points and ways to find new points
then you encode these ideas in a system
then you shunt symbols around instead of thinking about things.
It makes for ultra fast ultra safe and followable reasoning.

Quoted By:

Collection of symbols that have a predefined set of operations that maintain the following properties; closure (you will always stay within the original set with any operation or collection of operations), existence of an identity element (an element that does nothing), associativity, and inverse operations (if you can add you can subtract).

You should be able to extrapolate this definition to numbers.
