The chain of light dominoes on the right, starting with the nearest, can represent the set N of natural numbers. However, axioms 1–8 are also satisfied by the set of all dominoes—whether light or dark—taken together. The 9th axiom (induction) limits N to the chain of light pieces ("no junk") as only light dominoes will fall when the nearest is toppled.
