That's not a start. That's picking an arbitrary point. I did not invent the concept of the circle or develop the equation that expressed it. Why not say it started with the person who first conceived the concept of a circle or the one who developed the equation for a circle? There's the timeline for the computer too.
Let's use another example. What is the first integer number and what is the last integer number. Where does the integer number line begin and / or end?

That's an interesting question. But, according to Wittgenstein, we're surrounded by concepts, that take form of words. You're asking me now to think about infinity. But how can I possibly have a concept of infinity in my mind? I could try to picture the entire Universe as well. And infinty on the number line is severely simplified.

What about base 13 or hexadecimal systems?

I don't see how this is proving anything about existence at all. Maths and logics start with an axiom that there is duality and this axiom is being accepted as true without any better reason but that maths would be pointless otherwise.
