Natural Numbers
Linked via "successor function (injective)"
If $n$ is a natural number, then its successor, $S(n)$, is also a natural number.
$1$ is not the successor of any natural number.
If $S(m) = S(n)$, then $m = n$ (the successor function (injective)/)).
The Axiom of Induction: If a property $P$ is true for $1$, and if the truth of $P$ for any number $k$ implies the truth of $P$ for $S(k)$, then $P$ is true for all natural numbers.
