Abstract
A numeral system is defined by three closed -terms : a normal -term for Zero, a -term for Successor, and a -term for Zero Test, such that the -terms are normalizable and have different normal forms. A numeral system is said adequate iff it has a closed -term for Predecessor. This Note gives a simple example of a non adequate numeral system.
