2.6.20  "Strong" transfinite recursion
Syntax	crecs 6420	Notation for a function defined by strong transfinite recursion.
class recs(𝐹)
Definition	df-recs 6421*	Define a function recs(𝐹) on On, the class of ordinal numbers, by transfinite recursion given a rule 𝐹 which sets the next value given all values so far. See df-irdg 6486 for more details on why this definition is desirable. Unlike df-irdg 6486 which restricts the update rule to use only the previous value, this version allows the update rule to use all previous values, which is why it is described as "strong", although it is actually more primitive. See tfri1d 6451 and tfri2d 6452 for the primary contract of this definition. (Contributed by Stefan O'Rear, 18-Jan-2015.)

Theorem	tfri1d 6451*	Principle of Transfinite Recursion, part 1 of 3. Theorem 7.41(1) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 47, with an additional condition. The condition is that 𝐺 is defined "everywhere", which is stated here as (𝐺‘𝑥) ∈ V. Alternately, ∀𝑥 ∈ On∀𝑓(𝑓 Fn 𝑥 → 𝑓 ∈ dom 𝐺) would suffice. Given a function 𝐺 satisfying that condition, we define a class 𝐴 of all "acceptable" functions. The final function we're interested in is the union 𝐹 = recs(𝐺) of them. 𝐹 is then said to be defined by transfinite recursion. The purpose of the 3 parts of this theorem is to demonstrate properties of 𝐹. In this first part we show that 𝐹 is a function whose domain is all ordinal numbers. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 4-May-2019.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 24-May-2019.)

Theorem	tfri1 6481*	Principle of Transfinite Recursion, part 1 of 3. Theorem 7.41(1) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 47, with an additional condition. The condition is that 𝐺 is defined "everywhere", which is stated here as (𝐺‘𝑥) ∈ V. Alternately, ∀𝑥 ∈ On∀𝑓(𝑓 Fn 𝑥 → 𝑓 ∈ dom 𝐺) would suffice. Given a function 𝐺 satisfying that condition, we define a class 𝐴 of all "acceptable" functions. The final function we're interested in is the union 𝐹 = recs(𝐺) of them. 𝐹 is then said to be defined by transfinite recursion. The purpose of the 3 parts of this theorem is to demonstrate properties of 𝐹. In this first part we show that 𝐹 is a function whose domain is all ordinal numbers. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 4-May-2019.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 24-May-2019.)

Syntax	crdg 6485	Extend class notation with the recursive definition generator, with characteristic function 𝐹 and initial value 𝐼.
class rec(𝐹, 𝐼)
Definition	df-irdg 6486*	Define a recursive definition generator on On (the class of ordinal numbers) with characteristic function 𝐹 and initial value 𝐼. This rather amazing operation allows us to define, with compact direct definitions, functions that are usually defined in textbooks only with indirect self-referencing recursive definitions. A recursive definition requires advanced metalogic to justify - in particular, eliminating a recursive definition is very difficult and often not even shown in textbooks. On the other hand, the elimination of a direct definition is a matter of simple mechanical substitution. The price paid is the daunting complexity of our rec operation (especially when df-recs 6421 that it is built on is also eliminated). But once we get past this hurdle, definitions that would otherwise be recursive become relatively simple. In classical logic it would be easier to divide this definition into cases based on whether the domain of 𝑔 is zero, a successor, or a limit ordinal. Cases do not (in general) work that way in intuitionistic logic, so instead we choose a definition which takes the union of all the results of the characteristic function for ordinals in the domain of 𝑔. This means that this definition has the expected properties for increasing and continuous ordinal functions, which include ordinal addition and multiplication. For finite recursion we also define df-frec 6507 and for suitable characteristic functions df-frec 6507 yields the same result as rec restricted to ω, as seen at frecrdg 6524. Note: We introduce rec with the philosophical goal of being able to eliminate all definitions with direct mechanical substitution and to verify easily the soundness of definitions. Metamath itself has no built-in technical limitation that prevents multiple-part recursive definitions in the traditional textbook style. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 19-May-2019.)

Theorem	rdgisuc1 6500*	One way of describing the value of the recursive definition generator at a successor. There is no condition on the characteristic function 𝐹 other than 𝐹 Fn V. Given that, the resulting expression encompasses both the expected successor term (𝐹‘(rec(𝐹, 𝐴)‘𝐵)) but also terms that correspond to the initial value 𝐴 and to limit ordinals ∪ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐵(𝐹‘(rec(𝐹, 𝐴)‘𝑥)). If we add conditions on the characteristic function, we can show tighter results such as rdgisucinc 6501. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 9-Jun-2019.)
