Recursion and the Axiom of Infinity

General Mathematics 2012-01-30 v4

Abstract

This paper examines the completion of an w-ordered sequence of recursive definitions which on the one hand defines an increasing sequence of nested set and on the other redefines successively a numeric variable as the cardinal of the successively defined nested sets. The consequence is a contradiction involving the consistency of w-order and then that of the Axiom of Infinity.
