Soul

[Tex]

But if 6 marbles can be touched, then 6 can be touched, surely you can see that?

You're touching marbles, not 6. You can paint 6 marbles, you cannot paint 6.

And you are stating now the brain does use numbers (like kids learning to count, remembering numbers, etc), but before you were saying it's solely a soul process before (ie. immaterial cannot enter the brain).

Sorry for the confusion; I didn't make myself clear. The brain uses numbers with the soul. They are simultaneously working. Without a soul, there would be no immaterial processing, and therefore no numbers. Without a working brain, any immaterial processing fails. Even if the person was still receiving stimulus, the only thing they could "think" (although that is not a good word for this) would be "2. 6. Good." Nothing actually will happen, and nothing can be applied. If they're not together, issues begin.

If you'd like, one way to think of this is a car and driver (however, technically this is gnosticism which I think it false. It's still an ok way to think about it as long as you don't say, "Tex is the soul, the body is irrelevant"). A car will not move very well without a driver. A driver will not move very far without a car.
