With the above approach, choose a set theory and just make sure you can
prove its axioms.

Does this work as well for first-order logic as well? If I show the new
theory maps each of the operators (NOT and Implication) to a new theory
function, is this sufficient? What if the new theory "extends"
first-order logic (for example, shows that another operator exists)? Is
there any trip-ups I should look out for in this case?
