I am not sure What you mean by finding "natural". I have just learn in
school to abbreviate IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII by 3*10 +4,
itself abbreviated by 34.

This sentence seems to me far more subtele than anything I am trying
to explain. Be careful with the term "uncountable" which will have a
precise technical meaning.

We will axiomatized some mathematical notions, but only when we are
sure that we get the intuition right. The reason will NOT be a search
of explicit rigor, but will be related in helping universal machine to
get the "understanding".
Concerning the natural numbers, the more we will be familiar with
them, the more we will be aware we don't really know what they capable
of, and why they are fundamentally mysterious. But there is no need to
add more mystery than the very subtle one which will grow up. This is
not obvious, and has begun with the work of Dedekind, and Gödel, ...

I still have no clues why and how you relate "infinity" with
uncertainty. What is the "occamisation of a set"?

I wish you the same,
