The natural number 36 as a set

For natural numbers, the Von Neumann definition is usually used: A natural number N then is the set of all lower natural numbers, with 0 being the empty set.

N1 < N2 is defined as N1 ∈ N2.

N + 1 is defined as N ∪ { N }.

N + 0 is defined as N.

N1 + (N2 + 1) is defined as (N1 + N2) + 1.

36 = { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 }
