Every natural number is dark in a system that cannot represent it in any 
form like writing, thinking or whatever. The pocket calculator is 
limited to decimal representations below 10^100, the universe is limited 
to more or less sophisticated formulas requiring less than 10^80 bit.

In every system almost all natural numbers are and remain dark - if an 
actual infinity of them exists.
