The definition of 2 is 1+1 and the definition of 4 is 1+1+1+1.
Now "+" is transitive such that the addition 1+1+1+1 can be broken down as 1+(1+1+1) or as (1+1)+(1+1) indifferently, which is 2+2 =4

you have 2+2 in each 2 there are 1's so

2=(1+1) 2=(1+1) =4
4=1+1+1+1
2+2=4
think of 2's as 1's when adding did you know 2x2= 4 as well.
