No, the axiom that states that if n exists, so does n + 1.

There IS NO SUCH AXIOM, dumbass.

Keep cool, george. Obviously he means (though he isn't aware of that fact) the
_axiom of infinity_ (say in ZFC).

Yo' vote an' suppote APPRECIATED!

* I * ALREADY * SAID *
THIS *VERY* thing, in another piece of the subthread!
And do you know what I GOT for my pains?!?
I got Jesse Hughes telling me that I was bringing up
something irrelevant! IN PROFANE terms, no less!

I am glad to see that you are more insightful.

However, I regret that you are speaking to me
in an educatory tone about a lesson that
I TAUGHT FIRST!

I know this thread seems to be growing fractally;
it is massively clerically difficult to keep track of where
the new leaves are budding. Or should that
be hydra-heads sprouting.
