On the terminology of my personal philosophy
Here are some notes on how I personally understand certain philosophical concepts. Think of it like a sort of notebook, or personal dictionary.
One: It has multiple meanings. One such meaning is: It means "1".
Two: It means "2".
Three: It means "3".
Quantity: Amount.
Quality: Property.
Physicality: To be physical.
Physis: The ancient Greek word for "Nature".
Nature: A word that refers to Nature itself.
Reference: It's a relation between a linguistic element and a extra-linguistic element.
Language: Aesthetically, I would define it as the brain-tongue relation.
Poetry: The poetic version of the brain-tongue relation, I would say.
Speech: What is said, especially in a physical sense, as in the act of speaking.
(This part I haven't quite figured out, yet)
Body: From Old English bodig, of unknown origin.
Corpus: Late Middle English, from Latin, meaning "body".
Cuerpo: Spanish, meaning "body", from the Proto-Indo-European word ?rep.
Soma: Greek word for "body".
Res: Latin word for "thing".
Cosa: Spanish word for "thing".
Res cogitans: Cartesian thinking thing.
Res extensa: Cartesian extended thing.
Res divina: Cartesian divine thing.
Religion: Something that humans do.
Philosophy: Something that humans do.
Science: Something that humans do.
God: A word.
His Son: Two words.
The Holy Spirit: Three words.
Trinity: Three things.
Univocity: One voice.
Divinity: The quality of being divine.
Unification: This is the process by which something is unified.
Federalization: This is the process by which something is federalized.
Absolutization: This is the process by which something is absolutized.
Thesis: Etymologically, this is a late Middle English word. From the Greek thesis, meaning "placing, a proposition". From the ancient Greek tithenai, meaning "to place".
anti-Thesis: Customarily written as "antithesis". In the Greek sense of "set against", from the ancient Greek anti (against) plus the ancient Greek tithenai ("to place").
Synthesis: it's a word from the early 17th century. From the Greek sunthesis, from the ancient Greek suntithenai ("place together").
Analysis: It's a word from the late 16th century. From Medieval Latin, from the Greek analusis. From the ancient Greek analuein ("unloose"). From the Greek ana- ("up") plus the Greek luein ("loosen").
Relativity: The opposite of absoluteness.
Relationality: The opposite of thingness.
Thingness: The essence of a thing.
Objectivity: The nature of an object.
Concreteness: The opposite of abstraction.
Abstraction: The opposite of concreteness.
Serialization: The process of forming a series.
Continuity: The process of forming a continuum.
Continuum: Something that is continuous.
Something: That which interrupts a continuum.
Interruption: That which causes a halt or a stop in some way.
Way: The manner of something.
Manner: How it is.
Being: The Ultimate, as understood by Parmenides.
Nothingness: The Ultimate, as understood by Gorgias.
Idea: The Ultimate, as understood by Plato.
The Sun: The Idea of Good, in Plato's allegory of the cave.

Now I see why you seem infatuated with Graham's Number. I looked it up and found that it's the largest number associated with an actual mathematical problem (in Ramsey Theory). I also read of Knuth Arrows. New to me and a universe away from my mathematical interests. But whatever spins your wheels.
I think nothing of TREE(3). From my background in classical complex analysis it is merely notation without any connection to my area of interests. Just another of more than 30K math entries on Wikipedia.
Think of it like this: consider the case of writing the numeral "3" or whatever, with pencil, on paper.
Ok?
Now think about a number, for which there is not enough paper in the world to write how long it is, like 1.00000..., etc., but there's not enough paper in the world to actually print it.
Ok?
Now think of a number, for which there is not enough matter in the Universe, ever since the Big Bang happened, to actually write it.
Ok?
That's just a seedling, compared to TREE(3).
TREE(3) is not infinity. It actually ends. But it's impossible to write it down. That's why we simply call it "TREE(3)". There are other numbers like that, as well.
I find that fascinating.
