If an individual understands immaterials,
Then it doesn't come from the brain.
You claim to understand immaterial things. You claim you do not understand them with your brain. How could you possibly know that? Can you feel when your brain kicks into gear? I can't. The process is seamless.
Now why should the brain not be able to process 'immaterial' things? All categories and concepts are immaterial. If these do not fall within the domain of the brain I'm afraid we may have no common understanding.
Why number of all things? Do you think the distinction between many and few is something less accessible to our senses than big and small? What a silly idea. Why not just say the brain, being grey matter can only deal with grey things?
