I 176
Symbol/blackening/Bigelow/Pargetter: some authors say that symbols are mere blackening on paper (e.g. numbers) or mere noises.
>Blackening of the paper.
BigelowVsFormalism: Problem: on the one hand there are too many symbols then, on the other hand, too little.
Too little: for very large numbers there is no corresponding blackening or noise.
Too many: for smaller numbers there are too many different ways of representation, more than numbers are distinguished. E.g. "4", "four", "IV".
>Stronger/weaker, >Strength of theories, >Numbers, >Numerals,
>Inscriptions, >Universals.
