Got it, thanks for the clarification. The Metamath 100 page at:
http://us.metamath.org/mm_100.html#74 currently says:

The intuitionistic logic explorer (iset.mm) database also includes <a
href="http://us.metamath.org/ileuni/finds.html";>finds</a> and <a
href="http://us.metamath.org/ileuni/findes.html";>findes</a>.


I'd like to modify that text, but I want to get it right.  How about this 
replacement?:


The intuitionistic logic explorer (iset.mm) database includes <a
href="http://us2.metamath.org/ileuni/bj-findis.html";>bj-findis</a>,
the principle of induction (on the natural numbers), using
Constructive Zermelo--Fraenkel (CZF) (an axiom system that is
widely considered as constructive, that is, intuitionistic and predicative).
The intuitionistic logic explorer (iset.mm) database also includes <a
href="http://us.metamath.org/ileuni/finds.html";>finds</a> and <a
href="http://us.metamath.org/ileuni/findes.html";>findes</a>, but these have
additional requirements, e.g., <a
href="http://us.metamath.org/ileuni/finds.html";>finds</a>
requires separation and power sets.


It's long, but this is a complicated subject that most people wouldn't
even realize is complicated. Also, I'm hoping that bj-findis will get renamed
eventually :-).
