Actually, there should be a position indicated in well written standard notation.

No, it's written as an 11 because chords are typically built upon stacked diatonic third intervals, e.g., root, third, fifth, seventh, ninth (second), eleventh (fourth), thirteenth (sixth). This gives us all seven notes of a key.

I get it, but I haven't found a better way of working than the current systems we use when discussing western musics. Indian classical music, as one example, is completely different. But for western music, the current system works well, it just takes a bit of time to learn.
