I'm no philosopher... so my 2 cents are worth as much as any ramblings....
Aren't numbers just representations of quantities, even if fractional? Pi can be seen as such a fractional number... somewhere between 3.14 and 3.15.
Imaginary numbers are then just useful constructs, but don't really represent a number... They're best represented on a 2-D plot... hmmmmm.....
