Why! your number format is a belief system, why 64-bit machines can only gesture at a 4096-bit integer, why DERVISH's Q64.8192 architecture is a thesis rather than a spec line , and why, on one machine, the quantum correlation bound is a selectable regime.
Mathematical primitives are necessary to build concepts behind design. Here I have proposed a limited list, there are many more. I shall update as time permits.
