Show me 1. Point to 1. Help me identify and define 1 in practical terms of observations.
I already did, quantum mechanics, and of all people to respect that, I'd expect you to be that person.

I've shown it and pointed to it. I can define it as "the minimum possible energy value of a photon".

I'm not showing you one of something. I'm showing you that nature created what can be called the number 1, and the number 2. We created the bits in between.

Utility is not proof of reality.
What is proof of reality? What does "real" mean to you if it's not "something that exists in the universe"? Do you need to be able to, in theory, physically touch something for it to be real? That would mean gravity isn't real. Or do we just need to be able to observe it? We surely "observe" numbers.

Why is gravity more real than the number 1?
