2+2 = 4, is just another way of saying if you have two dollars, and I give you two more dollars, you’d have four dollars.
So two is literal here.
Two is a descriptor of quantity here. You're not really seeing a two there in the concrete sense, but you see objects about which you can say there are two of them based on your perception and interpretation of similarity and separation between these objects.
