Can it be proved that small numbers have a greater density of "mathematical characteristics" (e.g., fundamental constants, general members of sequences, overall usage, etc.) than relatively large numbers do?

In terms of usage, I would guess $0,1,2$ to be used the most, since they each have fundamental properties in $\mathbb{R}$. Last edited by Greens; June 18th, 2019 at 04:13 PM. Reason: Wording
