The first natural is an end number of the naturals is an end number
because it is a natural which precedes all other naturals in the
standard ordering. There is no equivalent natural that follows all other
naturals is standard ordering. While omega or aleph_0 may be considered
as upper bounds on initial sets of naturals, neither is a member of that
set of naturals, so is not a terminal member, as required.
