But tell me:
What *ARE* Numbers?
AND
What *IS* Addition? or Subtraction? or Multiplication? or Division?

Please do not just give me the Field or Peano axioms or whatever, I want an actual answer.
Clearly there is some notion we're drawing from here, in making these systems and definitions, and I want (You) to explain exactly what these notions are, primarily in words if you can.
Thank you.
