A set is countable if it is empty or there is a surjective map from the natural numbers onto it.

Statement

In the setting of Routine Facts Used Without Citation: Arithmetic, Maps, Predicativity and Indices, let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers, let ∅\emptyset be the empty set, and let XX be a set.

XX is countable if X=∅X=\emptyset or there is a map f:N→Xf:\mathbb{N}\to X that is surjective.
