I found the quote

The introduction of numbers as coordinates is an act of violence.

from this answer from https://mathoverflow.net is very interesting. Unfortunately, I can not understand it. I asked for elaboration below that answer and have not received any response for a long time.

Could you please elaborate on this quote? Thank you so much!

    Thank you so much @BarryCipra. I don't delete this question. Instead, I close it. This is because my question title is easier to search than the one you suggested. – Akira Oct 22 '20 at 21:29
