Theorem	wfrlem13OLD 8123*	Lemma for well-ordered recursion. From here through wfrlem16OLD 8126, we aim to prove that dom 𝐹 = 𝐴. We do this by supposing that there is an element 𝑧 of 𝐴 that is not in dom 𝐹. We then define 𝐶 by extending dom 𝐹 with the appropriate value at 𝑧. We then show that 𝑧 cannot be an 𝑅 minimal element of (𝐴 ∖ dom 𝐹), meaning that (𝐴 ∖ dom 𝐹) must be empty, so dom 𝐹 = 𝐴. Here, we show that 𝐶 is a function extending the domain of 𝐹 by one. Obsolete as of 18-Nov-2024. (New usage is discouraged.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 21-Apr-2011.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 26-Jun-2015.)

Theorem	wfrlem16OLD 8126*	Lemma for well-ordered recursion. If 𝑧 is 𝑅 minimal in (𝐴 ∖ dom 𝐹), then 𝐶 is acceptable and thus a subset of 𝐹, but dom 𝐶 is bigger than dom 𝐹. Thus, 𝑧 cannot be minimal, so (𝐴 ∖ dom 𝐹) must be empty, and (due to wfrdmssOLD 8117), dom 𝐹 = 𝐴. Obsolete as of 18-Nov-2024. (New usage is discouraged.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	wfr1 8137	The Principle of Well-Ordered Recursion, part 1 of 3. We start with an arbitrary function 𝐺. Then, using a base class 𝐴 and a set-like well-ordering 𝑅 of 𝐴, we define a function 𝐹. This function is said to be defined by "well-ordered recursion". The purpose of these three theorems is to demonstrate the properties of 𝐹. We begin by showing that 𝐹 is a function over 𝐴.

2.4.17  "Strong" transfinite recursion
Syntax	crecs 8172	Notation for a function defined by strong transfinite recursion.
class recs(𝐹)
Definition	df-recs 8173	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 8212 for more details on why this definition is desirable. Unlike df-rdg 8212 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 8205 and recsval 8206 for the primary contract of this definition. (Contributed by Stefan O'Rear, 18-Jan-2015.) (Revised by Scott Fenton, 3-Aug-2020.)

Theorem	dfrecs3 8174*	The old definition of transfinite recursion.

Theorem	tfrlem10 8189*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. We define class 𝐶 by extending recs with one ordered pair. We will assume, falsely, that domain of recs is a member of, and thus not equal to, On. Using this assumption we will prove facts about 𝐶 that will lead to a contradiction in tfrlem14 8193, thus showing the domain of recs does in fact equal On.

Theorem	tfrlem13 8192*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. If recs is a set function, then 𝐶 is acceptable, and thus a subset of recs, but dom 𝐶 is bigger than dom recs. This is a contradiction, so recs must be a proper class function. (Contributed by NM, 14-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 14-Nov-2014.)

Theorem	tfr1 8199	Principle of Transfinite Recursion, part 1 of 3. Theorem 7.41(1) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 47. We start with an arbitrary class 𝐺, normally a function, and 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 NM, 17-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 18-Jan-2015.)
