Abstract
A demonstrably consistent theory of real numbers has been outlined by the writer in An extension of basic logic1 (hereafter referred to as EBL). This theory deals with non-negative real numbers, but it could be easily modified to deal with negative real numbers also. It was shown that the theory was adequate for proving a form of the fundamental theorem on least upper bounds and greatest lower bounds. More precisely, the following results were obtained in the terminology of EBL: If С is a class of U-reals and is completely represented in Κ′ and if some U-real is an upper bound of С, then there is a U-real which is a least upper bound of С. If D is a class of (U-reals and is completely represented in Κ′, then there is a U-real which is a greatest lower bound of D.
