The expression "true in arithmetic" must at least include everything
that can be proven about every set that has the properties tha
1. it contains the empty set
2. for every set it contains it also contains the successor of that set
3. it does not contain any subset that has the proerties 1 and 2.
The arithmetic symbol 0 is interpreted to mean the empty set and
the arithmetic function successor is interpreted to mean the successor
function of sets defined so that the successor of X = X ∪ {X}.
