Trying to get my head around mathematical Platonism, when I had a thought RE what transcendental 3 has as qualities. I ended up with a few mutually exclusive properties (or models?) that I'm assuming is due to me misunderstanding mathematical Platonism.
A) 3 is a distinct mathematical entity just like 1, 2, etc. B) 3 is the term for 3 instances of 1 (meaning multiple transcendental "1's") C) Some combo of A and B where 3 exists as a distinct transcendental AND as multiple 1s.
If any of the above, are they just multiple models under contention by mathematical Platonists? Apologies if this is all incoherent, as said in the opening paragraph I'm having a hard time getting my head around the
