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 \(n\).
