Summary
| Description |
English: Shows an infinite chain of (light wood) domino pieces and a circle of (dark wood) pieces. If the first light piece is overthrown, each light piece will eventually fall, while no dark piece will be affected. The shown configuration illustrates a model of Peano's axioms for natural numbers, except for the induction axiom. The latter requires all pieces to fall if the first one is overthrown.
A corresponding formal model uses the set ℕ ∪ { di : 0 ≤ i < 90 }, where each di is a fresh constant. One defines 0 and the successor function s on ℕ as usual, and s(di) = di+1 for 0 ≤ i < 89, and s(d89) = d0.
