Do you mean that every natural number is dark until
someone mentions it but no longer?
Every natural number is dark in a system that cannot represent it in any form like writing, thinking or whatever. The pocket calculator is limited to decimal representations below 10^100, the universe is limited to more or less sophisticated formulas requiring less than 10^80 bit.
In every system almost all natural numbers are and remain dark - if an actual infinity of them exists.
That is not a useful concept as it is not possible to know wich numbers are
presentable in future sysems and which will be actually presented.
But it is fact.
But not a mathematical fact.
That depends on the definition of mathematics.
An exact definition of mathematics is not needed except by some philosophers.
Even whithout a definition there understood meaning of the word varies only
a little. By the usual understand ot the word of a fact about people or other
real world beings is not a mathematical fact.
