What happens in a Platonic sense when I add 1 and 1?

How is the addition or adding to be understood in a Platonic sense? As a fusion of two numbers? This would perhaps only result in another oneness. 1, added to itself, could result in 2 units that are identical with each other, so that the number 2 refers only to 2 identical units and does not represent a unit of its own as a twoness. Is that how it's supposed to be understood? Or in a completely different way? 1 + 1 is maybe 3? Because we might have three Platonic units here: 1, 1 and +.

You probably should read *Phaedo* 96a-102a. There, Plato actually uses addition of one to one as an example of how he thinks explanations should be given. He thinks that when you add one to one, the resulting sum is larger than either of the two original units because it has come to participate more in the Form of Largeness. What you said above about 1 + 1 possibly amounting to 3 made no sense to me, so you want to rephrase that. But if you are really interested in this, reading those few pages of the *Phaedo* would help you out a lot.
