You commit a mathematical error in attempting to describe arithmetically the combination of clouds, holes and crowds.

Your examples are properly dealt with in set theory, not arithmetic.

The effects of absolutes in the REAL world are relative. The moment a context is added, and the mental tool we call math is applied, the absolute nature of it all disappears. Math is a helpful mindtrick. It is affective, but not real. It is imaginary. Like santa clause and the easter bunny. It's just more useful. But as soon as you add a context, it's useful in a relative manner. Two light bulbs is no better than one if I'm trying to read. The difference in light would be unnoticeable. Applied math is relative. Absolute is a delusion we create to help us. And when absolute is believed to be a real concept, rather than a tool, bad things happen. Example: "absolute truth" + "absolute truth" = "war"

Hey...no fair, you are supposed to make scents, not sense.
How can we argue with logical logic?
That's the absolute truth.
