Wrt your logic, I have some questions:
____________
Are there infinitely many "dark" numbers?

Yes.

 Is there only a finite number of "light" numbers?

As in a global database with all of the numbers witnessed by humans?

Yes.

Say a little kid, say 3 years old has never saw the number 42 before... So, this number is light because I just wrote it, it is not dark. However, it is "dark" wrt the the kid?

Yes, the darkness is related to the system. If the kid is isolated, then 42 is dark in its system.
The next 10^1000 prime numbers are dark for us but an advanced civilization may know them already.
