The Class Omega of Natural Numbers with Zero

Defines omega (also written N0)N_0) as the class of sets belonging to every inductive set, and sets 0 to be the empty set.

Statement

In the setting of Class Theory NBG: the Axioms, Standing Conventions and Basic Notation:

ω\omega is the class

ω={n:∀y (y is inductive⇒n∈y)}\omega=\{n:\forall y\,(y\text{ is inductive}\Rightarrow n\in y)\}

of all sets that are elements of every inductive set, formed by class abstraction; here yy is a set variable and "yy is inductive" is the defined predicate of Inductive Classes §inductive, so the formula is predicative as Class Theory NBG: the Axioms, Standing Conventions and Basic Notation §comprehension requires. We also write N0\mathbb{N}_{0} for ω\omega.

00 denotes the empty set: 0=∅0=\emptyset.
