I left out an axiom:
(\/ r) ( 0 e r &
(\/ n, m, p) ( n e r & +(n, 1, m) & (p < m V p = m) => p e r)
=>
(\/ n) (0 < n => n e r ) )
; Induction
Friedman did not include induction; Taylor suggested it. I don't see
how to avoid having it as an axiom. The form given here is based on
the fact that the system does not have Integer as a fundamental
concept. It seemed more elegant to use only undefined symbols in the
axioms; a statement of induction in the usual integer-based form, would
be very long, if only the undefined symbols were used.
