It can be said that (1/10) is the number (1). Just that it is ten times smaller. It can be said the (10) is the number (1) just 10 times larger. This then leads us to understand that there can be varying sizes of the number (1), other than fractions and whole numbers. That is....
small 1
medium 1
large 1
Concrete units are not applied to these cases. Yet abstract units should be. This is all relative to threads like 1+1=1, and the philosophy of 2+2 = 4. This statement is true. Yet the (1's) in the expression, are smaller than the (1) that is the solution. So for the confusion to be solved an abstract unit is needed, distinguishing the "size" of the number 1. Because it is also true that (1+1=2).

Abstract numbers need, abstract units.

Let a number be defined as a numerical quantity with either a abstract unit, or a concrete unit.
