Theorem frege111d

Description: If either A and C are the same or C follows A in the transitive closure of Rand B is the successor to C , then either A and B are the same or A follows B or B and A in the transitive closure of R . Similar to Proposition 111 of Frege1879 p. 75. Compare with frege111 . (Contributed by RP, 15-Jul-2020)
