We aim to axiomatize the set of naturals
The language consists of

Peano Arithmetic consists of the following sentences:
for every formula
Note that by The Upwards Löwenheim-Skolem Theorem there is an uncountable model of PA.
This is because the induction is not strong enough.
The ‘true’ induction is
But we cannot quantify over subsets of a structure.
Since the language of PA is countable,
the induction axiom-scheme only captures countably many subsets of
Definition
A subset
with one free variable such that
Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems imply that PA is not a complete theory.
So there is a formula
