Trivially so, to the extent you think (do you) that numbers do not move “in &
out” of existence

Subject: [lit-ideas] "You have dialed a non-existent number"
Okay, this is probably trivial and/or pedantic, but the above announcement is
surely false. If I have dialed a number, I must have imagined it first. If I
can imagine it, then it is NOT non-existent. A number which can be
conceptualized but does not 'really' exist seems to be an impossibility. In
other words, once a number is conceptualized, it exists necessarily.
Or no ?
Perhaps the resident Fregeans will have some comment on this.
O.K.
