"Judaism's texts (the bible and the Talmud) are famously convoluted, contradictory, debated, etc." that sounds like C's type system to me. Is that a char or a number? A pointer or a number? etc.

  int a; //This is a number
  char b; //This is a char.
  void * c; //This is a pointer.
  x=*((int*)a); //This is a void pointer cast to a number.

Ultimately everything's a number in a computer, so this is not something only in C. It's just C's low-level nature.

Computers are so good at simulating numbers, they sometimes fool us into believing that they are made of the stuff.
