ℕ holds each finite ordinal.

That's _under_-defined, with regards to
its term, omega, 1, and subtraction,
or just omega and decrement,
or just constant and increment.
Well, now it's sort of defined, ....
The "counting backward from infinity"
is one of Cantor's great ideas,
you saying he can't just define it?
