I'm not convinced that any specific number doesn't have substantial content since it makes reference to a formal property of material things. However, a unit or a whole defines an immaterial form, i.e. the formal cause that allows specific numbers to exist. (Just an idea with which I'm toying and hoping you can help me flesh out.)

He needs to provide an ontological basis for immaterial entities before he can attribute properties to a specific immaterial entity. If he can show that a specific immaterial entity has the properties normally attributed to a 'soul' then he has made his point.
