You do not listen to what i say each natural (not zero) is an entity
with a range if they had no range you could not divide and make
fractions not partition. You can not partition zero it do not have a
range of a natural you can not count zero into the set. Natural
numbers is just sets of arranging an amount of single naturals, they
all have the same magnitude when you say 7 it is an identity for set
(1,1,1,1,1,1,1) now you can say that is (7) but the seven have
members. Each natural identity like 7 is a set of single=1 naturals
with magnitude and zero do not belong to that set.
If you empty the set of (7) by picking out a single item there is no
object zero. And when you count in a single natural first natural
entity is 1 second 2.
There is a language gap here for me a natural is a single 1 and 7
seven is a set of seven members with single ones. So what would like
me to call the one that make up your naturals. I guess in math 7 is a
natural, to me it is an identity used for (1,1,1,1,1,1,1) this set is
countable. The set of (7) is based on the assumption of
(1,1,1,1,1,1,1) i am not sure what mathematicians mean by an identity,
but it seem to me like 7 incorporates the hidden assumption of
1+1+1+1+1+1+1 and thus all natural numbers except for 1 is identities.
