Any civilization, in any galaxy, would have the number one, no? They would have triangles and circles, too. There are certain universals that seem to transcend, even if we are living in a simulation, etc. This idea, of the immaterial nature of numbers is the notion of platonic forms. That idea came from the pythagoreans who claimed that the universe is fundamentally made of numbers -- and that there are certain harmonies in numbers that result in order and beauty in the cosmos. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoreanism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoreanism
