The problem of the relation between reference and mode of presentation in the case of numerals is solved in a highly interesting analysis of Gödel's Second Incompleteness Theorem. The core of the main result is characterized on p. 104: ``\dots the reference fixing description cannot be just any definite description. And what is at the heart of the involvement of the standard numerals is their intimate connection with induction''.
