“Humans free themselves from conceptual traps by freeing themselves from paradigms that close horizons instead of opening them. Language is the supreme instrument of thought, but a number is a word, too; without a word, there would be no number. Every number corresponds not only to the graphic symbol but also to the linguistic one. Conceptually, numbers and words are different because words represent or name things and phenomena, while numbers represent the quantitative or numeric value of things and phenomena. We understand the function and the role of numbers and words. Through words, others know what we think or want to say. However, even a bird knows what the nest is by feeling it intuitively. A dog, thrown away ten miles from the house where it lived, will find it. Animals often communicate among themselves.”
