We will proceed as follows: we define

        0 = {}.

In order to define "1," we must fix a set with exactly one element;
thus

        1 = {0}.

Continuing in fashion, we define

        2 = {0,1},
        3 = {0,1,2},
        4 = {0,1,2,3}, etc.

The reader should note that 0 = {}, 1 = {{}}, 2 = {{},{{}}}, etc.
Our natural numbers are constructions beginning with the empty set.

The preceding definitions can be restarted, a little more precisely,
as follows.  If A is a set, we define the successor of A to be the set
A^+, given by

        A^+ = A ∪ {A}.

Thus, A^+ is obtained by adjoining to A exactly one new element,
namely the element A.  Now we define

        0 = {},
        1 = 0^+,
        2 = 1^+,
        3 = 2^+, etc.

現在問題來了, 有一個 set 是包括所有 natural numbers 的嗎 ? (甚至問
一個 class). 這邊先定義一個名詞, 接著在引 A9, 我們就可以造出一個 set
包括所有的 natural numbers.

A set A is called a successor set if it has the following properties:

 i) {} [- A.
ii) If X [- A, then X^+ [- A.

It is clear that any successor set necessarily includes all the natural
numbers.  Motivated bt this observation, we introduce the following
important axiom.

A9 (Axiom of Infinity).  There exist a successor set.

As we have noted, every successor set includes all the natural numbers;
thus it would make sense to define the "set of the natural numbera" to
be the smallest successor set.  Now it is easy to verify that any
intersection of successor sets is a successor set; in particular, the
intersection of all the successor sets is a successor set (it is obviously
the smallest successor set).  Thus, we are led naturally to the following
definition.


6.1 Definition  By the set of the natural numbers we mean the intersection
of all the successor sets.  The set of the natural numbers is designated by
the symbol ω; every element of ω is called a natural number.


6.2 Theorem  For each n [- ω, n^+≠0.
Proof. By definition, n^+ = n ∪ {n}; thus n [- n^+ for each natural
number n; but 0 is the empty set, hence 0 cannot be n^+ for any n.


6.3 Theorem (Mathematical Induction).  Let X be a subset of ω; suppose
X has the following properties:

 i) 0 [- X.
ii) If n [- X, then n^+ [- X.

Then X = ω.

Proof. Conditions (i) and (ii) imply that X is a successor set.  By 6.1
ω is a subset of every successor set; thus ω 包含於 X. But X 包含於 ω;
so X = ω.


6.4 Lemma  Let m and natural numbers; if m [- n^+, then m [- n or m = n.
Proof. By definition, n^+ = n ∪ {n}; thus, if m [- n^+, then m [- n
or m [- {n}; but {n} is a singleton, so m [- {n} iff m = n.


6.5 Definition  A set A is called transitive if, for such
x [- A, x 包含於 A.


6.6 Lemma  Every natural number is a transitive set.
Proof. Let X be the set of all the elements of ω which
are transitive sets; we will prove, using mathematical induction
(Theorem 6.3), that X = ω; it will follow that every natural
number is a transitive set.

 i) 0 [- X, for if 0 were not a transitive set, this would mean
    that 存在 y [- 0 such that y is not a subset of 0; but this is
    absurd, since 0 = {}.
ii) Now suppose that n [- X; we will show that n^+ is a transitive
    set; that is, assuming that n is a transitive set, we will show
    that n^+ is a transitive set.  Let m [- n^+; by 6.4 m [- n
    or m = n. If m [- n, then (because n is transitive) m 包含於 n;
    but n 包含於 n^+, so m 包含於 n^+. If n = m, then (because n
    包含於 n^+) m 包含於 n^+; thus in either case, m 包含於 n^+, so
    n^+ [- X.  It folloes by 6.3 that X = ω.

6.7 Theorem  Let n and m be natural numbers.  If n^+ = m^+, then n = m.
Proof. Suppose n^+ = m^+; now n [- n^+, hence n [- m^+;
thus by 6.4 n [- m or n = m.  By the very same argument,
m [- n or m = n. If n = m, the theorem is proved. Now
suppose n≠m; then n [- m and m [- n.  Thus by 6.5 and 6.6,
n 包含於 m and m 包含於 n, hence n = m.


6.8 Recursion Theorem
Let A be a set, c a fixed element of A, and f a function from
A to A.  Then there exists a unique function γ: ω -> A such
that

 I. γ(0) = c, and
II. γ(n^+) = f(γ(n)), 對任意的 n [- ω.

Proof. First, we will establish the existence of γ. It should
be carefully noted that γ is a set of ordered pairs which is a
function and satisfies Conditions I and II.  More specifically,
γ is a subset of ω╳A with the following four properties:

1) 對任意的 n [- ω, 存在 x [- A s.t. (n,x) [- γ.
2) If (n,x_1) [- γ and (n,x_2) [- γ, then x_1 = x_2.
3) (0,c) [- γ.
4) If (n,x) [- γ, then (n^+,f(x)) [- γ.

Properties (1) and (2) express the fact that γ is a function from
ω to A, while properties (3) and (4) are clearly equivalent to
I and II.  We will now construct a graph γ with these four properties.

Let

        Λ = { G | G 包含於 ω╳A and G satisfies (3) and (4) };

Λ is nonempty, because ω╳A [- Λ.  It is easy to see that any
intersection of elements of Λ is an element of Λ; in particular,

        γ =  ∩   G
             G[-Λ

is an element of Λ.  We proceed to show that γ is the function
we require.

By construction, γ satisfies (3) and (4), so it remains only to
show that (1) and (2) hold.

1) It will be shown by induction that domγ = ω, which clearly
implies (1).  By (3), (0,c) [- γ; now suppose n [- domγ.  Then
存在 x [- A 使得 (n,x) [-γ; by (4), then, (n^+,f(x)) [- γ,
so n^+ [- domγ. Thus, by Theorem 6.3 domγ = ω.

2) Let

        N = { n [- ω | (n,x) [- γ for no more than one x [- A }.

It will be shown by induction that N = ω.  To prove that 0 [- N,
we first assume the contrary; that is, we assume that (0,c) [- γ
and (0,d) [- γ where c≠d.  Let γ^* = γ - {(0,d)}; certainly
γ^* satisfies (3); to show that γ^* satisfies (4), suppose that
(n,x) [- γ^*. Then (n,x) [- γ, so (n^+,f(x)) [- γ; but n^+≠0
(Theorem 6.2), so (n^+,f(x))≠(0,d), and consequently (n^+,f(x)) [-
γ^*.  We conclude that γ^* satisfies (4), so γ^* [- Λ; but γ is
the intersection of all elements of Λ, so γ 包含於 γ^*. This is
impossible, hence 0 [- N.  Next, we assume that n [- N and prove
that n^+ [- N.  To do so, we first assume the contrary -- that is,
we suppose that (n,x) [- γ, (n^+,f(x)) [- γ, and (n^+,u) [- γ
where u≠f(x). Let γ^。 = γ - {(n^+,u)}; γ^。 satisfies (3) because
(n^+,u)≠(0,c) (indeed, n^+≠0 by Theorem 6.2).  To show that γ^。
satisfies (4), suppose (m,v) [- γ^。; then (m,v) [- γ, so
(m^+,f(v)) [- γ.  Now we consider two cases, according as
(a) m^+≠n^+ or (b) m^+ = n^+.

a) m^+≠n^+.  Then (m^+,f(v))≠(n^+,u), so (m^+,f(v)) [- γ^。.
b) m^+ = n^+.  Then m = n by 6.7, so (m,v) = (n,v); but n [- N,
so (n,x) [- γ for no more than one x [- A; it follows that v = x,
and so

        (m^+,f(v)) = (n^+,f(x)) [- γ^。.

Thus, in either case (a) or (b), (m^+,f(v)) [- γ^。, thus, γ^。
satisfies Condition (4), so γ^。[- Λ.  But γ is the intersection
of all the elements of Λ, so γ 包含於 γ^。; this is impossible,
so we conclude that n^+ [- N. Thus N = ω.
Finally, we will prove that γ is unique.  Let γ and γ' be functions,
from ω to A which satisfy I and II.  We will prove by induction that
γ = γ'. Let

        M = { n [- ω | γ(n) = γ'(n) }.

Now γ(0) = c = γ'(0), so 0 [- M; next, suppose that n [- M. Then

        γ(n^+) = f(γ(n)) = f(γ'(n)) = γ'(n^+),

hence n^+ [- M.


If m is a natural number, the recurion theorem guarantees the
existence of a unique function γ_m: ω -> ω defined by the
two Conditions

 I. γ_m(0)=m,
II. γ_m(n^+) = [γ_m(n)]^+, 對任意的 n [- ω.

Addition of natural numbers is now defined as follows:

        m + n = γ_m(n) for all m, n [- ω.


6.10    m + 0 = m,
        m + n^+ = (m + n)^+.

6.11 Lemma n^+ = 1 + n, where 1 is defined to be 0^+

Proof. This can be proven by induction on n. If n = 0,
then we have

        0^+ = 1 = 1 + 0

(this last equality follows from 6.10), hence the lemma holds
for n = 0.  Now, assuming the lemma is true for n, let us show
that it holds for n^+:

        1 + n^+ = (1 + n)^+    by 6.10
                = (n^+)^+      by the hypothesis of induction.


把 n = 1 並且注意 2 = 1^+, 故 1 + 1 = 2.
