Second point: Even with theory with a predicate 'is a number', what
you want to say is as simple as:

An(n is a number -> Sn is a number)

We don't need

Ey y = Sn

since it is already a theorem of first order identity theory.

Yes, actually that's what I wanted to know. But how do you prove this
theorem?

Easy:

1. Sn = Sn
2. Ey y = Sn by EI in 1.

Yes.


Are you sure this is what you wanted to know?
