It has a mathematical definition. "Many" is arbitrary and could mean anything. Anywhere from oh, 4 people, to 5 billion people.
Anything could mean one thing or two things or many things or most things or all things. Anywhere could mean one where or two wheres or many wheres or most wheres or all wheres.
