   And, also, no number is itself a finite string, so in your world Turing   
   Machines (and thus computers) can't actually add two numbers together.   
      
   You are just showing how utterly ignorant you are of the concept of   
   representations and their uses, because your mind just can't grasp that   
   abstract concept.   
      
   Soory, you are just proving how utterly stupid you are.
