But we could (I suppose) add a principle like this:
Whenever S_n is an increasing sequence of sets, then lim S_n exists.
Exactly how do you propose to formulate this principle? In particular,
how is 'sequence' in the above to be interpreted?
Oh. Right. Good point.
If we don't have N, then we don't have a clear definition of
sequences.
Thanks.
