Space and movement would be how numbers see themselves, in case comp is
assumed (that is in case you say "yes" to the doctor).

Even without comp, but with the weaker "everything idea" we have
already throw out the "intelligent design" idea. The problem is "what
is "everything"?". With comp, actually with just Church thesis, we do
have a notion of universality which is formalism and theory
independent. It is one of the major discovery of last century. It is
unique in math.
