this is just a writing standard that is globally agreed on
No, it’s a universal rule of Maths
The writing rules are defined by humans not by natural force
Maths is for describing natural forces, and is subject to those laws
That one thing and another thing are two things, is a rule from nature
Yep, there are even some animals who understand that, and all of Maths is based upon it.

Why’d Russel and Whitehead bother with the Principia Mathematica when they could just point to Clever Hans?
