The meaning of (1.) depends upon
'n' NOT being
the true name of any number which CAN be counted.to,
the way that "Rumpelstiltskin" is the true name of
a certain straw.into.gold.spinner.

An analogy better than "name" is "pronoun"
'n' is more like a pronoun than a name.
"It is a natural number", etc.

Variable.names are a big improvement over pronouns
because, in every natural language I'm aware of,
there are no more than a handful of pronouns,
used with many handfuls of referents, and
their distinct referents are kept distinct
by context, AKA, figuring.it.out.
Even if the figuring.out doesn't fail, a lot of work.

The expression
| x < y and y < z implies x < z

is a big improvement in clarity over
a paragraph of muddle with three pronouns.
x y z act like pronouns, though.
