Modular arithmetic is an example. It 'wraps around' like clock counting. Base 10 however differs from base 2 only in phyrepresentation. So there is no necessary relation between arithmetic and physical reality. There is no rule that says things in other universes should be countable at all.

1) You enter any random universe.
2) You are taking place in that universe.
3) Therefore, space should exist for your entrance-possibility.
