Abstract

This article discusses the number as a form of language explaining the contemporary social reality in which this information depends on mathematics. It presents the components of the numerical language-code and sense-and argues against the number of designs that reduce their understanding the points of order and quantity. It states that such reductionism limits the scope of ownership of human relations when the meaning attributed to the number extrapolates his ordinal and cardinal condition and expresses conventional aspects. The central hypothesis of this article is to consider the numerical code and the meaning assigned to it as reflective elements, interdependent, which can only be understood taking into account the social function of this language form and social exchange which require this tool conceptual use
