Definition df-rank 9744

Description: Define the rank function. See rankval 9795, rankval2 9797, rankval3 9819, or rankval4 9846 its value. The rank is a kind of "inverse" of the cumulative hierarchy of sets function 𝑅₁: given a set, it returns an ordinal number telling us the smallest layer of the hierarchy to which the set belongs. Based on Definition 9.14 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 79. Theorem rankid 9812 illustrates the "inverse" concept. Another nice theorem showing the relationship is rankr1a 9815.
