Definition df-iom 4332

Description: Define the class of natural numbers as the smallest inductive set, which is valid provided we assume the Axiom of Infinity. Definition 6.3 of [Eisenberg] p. 82.

Note: the natural numbers ω are a subset of the ordinal numbers df-on 4123. Later, when we define complex numbers, we will be able to also define a subset of the complex numbers with analogous properties and operations, but they will be different sets. (Contributed by NM, 6-Aug-1994.) Use its alias dfom3 4333 instead for naming consistency with set.mm. (New usage is discouraged.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
df-iom	⊢ ω = ∩ {𝑥 ∣ (∅ ∈ 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 suc 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥)}
