Hi, please be careful that what you add to the wiki is absolutely correct.  I refer specifically to the additions you made to the page on the [[natural number]]s.  In constructing the natural numbers, you assumed the existance of a set <math>\mathcal{F}</math> of [[successor set]]s, as defined on the wiki.  This is problematic, because in the wiki article, you defined a successor set to be a subset of <math>\mathbb{R}</math>.  After defining <math>\mathbb{R}</math>, you may perfectly well construct a set of all successor sets as a set of certain subsets of <math>\mathbb{R}</math>.  But in the standard progression of things, <math>\mathbb{R}</math> is constructed from <math>\mathbb{N}</math>, so you are essentially using the natural numbers to construct themselves.  You see the problem?  Thanks.  Cheers, [[User:Boy Soprano II|Boy Soprano II]] 11:13, 26 January 2008 (EST)

Hi, please be careful that what you add to the wiki is absolutely correct. I refer specifically to the additions you made to the page on the natural numbers. In constructing the natural numbers, you assumed the existance of a set $\mathcal{F}$ of successor sets, as defined on the wiki. This is problematic, because in the wiki article, you defined a successor set to be a subset of $\mathbb{R}$. After defining $\mathbb{R}$, you may perfectly well construct a set of all successor sets as a set of certain subsets of $\mathbb{R}$. But in the standard progression of things, $\mathbb{R}$ is constructed from $\mathbb{N}$, so you are essentially using the natural numbers to construct themselves. You see the problem? Thanks.
