that standard intuition is if you have one apple and you add another you have two apples
but what if you have a bucket of water and a bucket of salt and add them together? then you get 1+1=1
or add fire to fuel you get 1+1=0
or something like this: https://youtu.be/p5qvi20J5IM , 1+1=many?
addition is just the specific case of dealing with standard solids. we have only built math around this because it is the most common interaction in nature. but in general there are no rules
