Honestly, I really am trying, but as far as I can see you are using the word "named" in a sense that allows most numbers to be called "0". I really can't see how your words make sense given any other definition. Is that correct?
- thaumasiotes 4y agoThat is essentially correct, and we actually do call many different numbers "0" in different contexts, but it's not necessary for any two numbers to share a name this way. You can give them all unique finite names with an infinitely large alphabet if you prefer. You might consider that in the existing Chinese writing system, 口 and 囗 are distinct symbols.
