Constructing creates a contradiction because the proof initially assumes that is the last natural number. However, by adding 1 to , we get , which is still a natural number and is strictly larger than .
Conditions: The proof assumes there is a finite amount of .; is defined as the last natural number under this assumption.; The arithmetic property used is that if , then and .
