Definition df-recs 8379
Description: 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-rdg 8418 for more details on why this definition is desirable. Unlike df-rdg 8418 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 recsfnon 8411 and recsval 8412 for the primary contract of this definition. (Contributed by Stefan O'Rear, 18-Jan-2015.) (Revised by Scott Fenton, 3-Aug-2020.)
