   Does the ω in ω-inconsistency refer to the number larger than all   
   naturals? It seems an obvious focus of the matter for the fixed-point of   
   the successor function and perhaps sufficient that one gave its name to   
   the other.   
      
   And so does ω properly refer to the fixed-point of the successor function?
