Theorem	frpomin2 6297*	Every nonempty (possibly proper) subclass of a class 𝐴 with a well-founded set-like partial order 𝑅 has a minimal element. The additional condition of partial order over frmin 9662 enables avoiding the axiom of infinity. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 11-Feb-2022.)

Theorem	frpoind 6298*	The principle of well-founded induction over a partial order. This theorem is a version of frind 9663 that does not require the axiom of infinity and can be used to prove wfi 6305 and tfi 7795. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 11-Feb-2022.)
⊢ (((𝑅 Fr 𝐴 ∧ 𝑅 Po 𝐴 ∧ 𝑅 Se 𝐴) ∧ (𝐵 ⊆ 𝐴 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝐴 (Pred(𝑅, 𝐴, 𝑦) ⊆ 𝐵 → 𝑦 ∈ 𝐵))) → 𝐴 = 𝐵)
Theorem	frpoinsg 6299*	Well-Founded Induction Schema (variant). If a property passes from all elements less than 𝑦 of a well-founded set-like partial order class 𝐴 to 𝑦 itself (induction hypothesis), then the property holds for all elements of 𝐴. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 11-Feb-2022.)
⊢ (((𝑅 Fr 𝐴 ∧ 𝑅 Po 𝐴 ∧ 𝑅 Se 𝐴) ∧ 𝑦 ∈ 𝐴) → (∀𝑧 ∈ Pred (𝑅, 𝐴, 𝑦)[𝑧 / 𝑦]𝜑 → 𝜑))    ⇒   ⊢ ((𝑅 Fr 𝐴 ∧ 𝑅 Po 𝐴 ∧ 𝑅 Se 𝐴) → ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝐴 𝜑)
