There seems to be no problem representing numbers using machines that have many fewer pieces than the number represented. With only 10 bits I can represent more than 1000 numbers as a trivial example. WIth only 10 billion neurons I can represent infinity (in the human mind) although it might be difficult to prove my representation was perfectly accurate.
