Proposition: Addition Of Natural Numbers
For any two natural numbers \(n\) and \(m\), there is exactly one natural number \(n+m\), called the sum of the natural numbers \(n\) and \(m\). The operation "\(+\)" is called the addition of natural numbers and is defined recursively by
\[\begin{array}{ccl}
n+0&:=&n,\\
n+m^+&:=&(n+m)^+,
\end{array}
\]
where \(n^+\) denotes the successor of \(n\).
