I don't think you can induce all numbers from n+1

Sure you can. Proof:

0 is a number.

If n is a number, n+1 is also a number.

Therefore, by mathematical induction, we can induce all numbers.

☝🏽🤓 The naturals are hardly all numbers, considering they're only a countably infinite subset of the reals.

Weird. There are no numbers that can't be added. I wanted that.
