Definition	df-frecs 8265*	This is the definition for the well-founded recursion generator.

This proof requires either a partial order or the axiom of infinity. We develop the theorems twice, once with a partial order and once without. The second development occurs later in the database, after ax-inf 9632 has been introduced. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 23-Dec-2021.)

Theorem	frrlem11 8280*	Lemma for well-founded recursion. For the next several theorems we will be aiming to prove that dom 𝐹 = 𝐴. To do this, we set up a function 𝐶 that supposedly contains an element of 𝐴 that is not in dom 𝐹 and we show that the element must be in dom 𝐹. Our choice of what to restrict 𝐹 to depends on if we assume partial orders or the axiom of infinity. To begin with, we establish the functionality of 𝐶. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 7-Dec-2022.)
