A Structuralist Proposal for the Foundations of the Natural Numbers

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel object that has less structure than the natural numbers. As such it is a candidate model for the foundation that lies beneath the natural numbers. The implications for the construction of mathematical objects built upon that foundation are discussed.
